Installing new Tremec 5 speed from Modern Drive line, while I was at it decided to install Scott Drake Tri y Stainless headers, supposed to clear Z bar, with a small dimple, not happening, looks like I am going to cut the lower leg of bar and angle it back toward rear and re weld, also the car has in it steeroids rack and pinion, which must be lowered about a 1/2 inch or so to clear knuckle/rack, does anybody have any experience with either of these situations, any help would be greatly appreciated

I saw a video recently that discusses header modifications pretty in-depth, I'll see if I can find the link.
