Help! Doug's headers in 67 barracuda

I haven't measure the engine placement, but since this is a spool mount k-member there is no adjustment like there is with the biscuit style engine mounts. I am going to dent the header where the borgeson pump hits it (not Doug's fault since the borgeson pump is wider than the stock pump in that spot). I'll also dent the area near the torsion bars. From what I'm reading this seems pretty common and since my car is not at all stock, I shouldn't be expecting anything less LOL.

I'll have to think about the steering column solution. I was wondering if it would be possible to cut a small section out of the column outer sleeve and move the bottom section (with the bearing in it) up and weld it back onto the outer sleeve. See picture below. Is this possible or is there another inner metal sleeve that the shaft rides in..?
