Big block Trouble in little China

Ok, been battling this header swap on my 383 in my 69 barracuda. Replaced the power steering with manual, ended up having to slightly dent the bottom of one of the tubes for the pitman arm to work. Purchased the TTI modified z bar and found out it was too short so I purchased the ball stud extension kit from Brewers performance. Well guess what, it doesn’t align correctly and my original z bar won’t work with the headers. I’m at a loss and not sure if I need to have the TTI bar extended so it will work in the location that the original was in or what? I swear I keep getting all these goofy issues. 954D85A1-0CD6-4FB4-B86E-EE3FD0D57FEE.jpeg68D5CC9D-D27A-4776-A38B-26D26988C196.jpeg5BB15B12-7809-4E5E-929B-79A7324677A9.jpeg
