Header fitment

[VorTecxas]

Dropped the 454 in yesterday and I'm having issues with my passenger side header clearing the upper control arm mount. I took a gamble on a good deal and was wrong. I've looked for hours at different header designs but can't afford to order anything and it won't work, does anyone know of a pair of headers that will fit the 454 in a 1500 2WD? I should add that I dropped it into the stock mounts, I did not use the risers from the 2500, so it sits a little lower than in the heavier trucks. I thought about the 454SS, but when I looked up the correct headers for it they were outrageously expensive.

Yeah, I've had it sitting in the shop for awhile, was waiting for someone to buy my 350 before I started the swap.

I picked them up unused for $100, I wasn't sure if they'd fit but I couldn't pass it up.

I would run stock manifolds for now,until i feel like spending 400+ for headers.
