Dougs D453 headers went in ti my 70 Dart yesterday....

A sharp point on the box is Almost touching a tube. The coupler is very close to a tube can u say burning rubber ? Raising the motor mounts will allow me to get some hi temp heat shield wrapped around the box Im Looking at a shaft universal joint.
One tube 1/3 inch away from the oil pan.. If i had wrapped them, no go. I may have to ding them when I Install 1.03 torsion bars.
I dropped the steering as im rebuilding it anyway. Im sure im missing something !!
Any ideas, sugesstions welcome !
Gibson tips out back.
