Does anyone here run 1 3/4" headers with a cable clutch? I'm running a mustangsteve cable clutch kit in my '65 coupe with a 408w hooked up to a TKO 600 with a lakewood scattershield. I have a mustang II front suspension so clearance to the sides won't be a problem with no shock towers, but I don't want to melt the cable clutch against the headers. If any of you guys are running 1 3/4" headers and a cable clutch, what headers are you using? I would like a set of ceramic coated long tube headers, but I need to know which ones will have the least problems clearing the cable.

Do an internet search for Ford Powertrain. I spoke with them today about the exact same setup. The guy said there is no issue with clearance and I am using a TCP rack as well.
