Greg,

I can't tell for sure from your pic, but on mine the header was hitting the bellhousing support, not the block. Was pretty easy to remove the support and hacksaw off 1/4" at the offending point.

Alternator clearance was also an issue. While there was no contact, I didn't want it that close to hot temps (even if the forward pipe is cooler than the others). Solution was to fabricate a longer upper alt bracket -- two Heim joints that go into a threaded aluminum rod (one end LH thread) -- so the alt is down and outboard of the header. Adjusts like the center steering tie rod. I think I ended up with a 37" belt.
