alright we have run into a little problem...our steering rod wont clear our headers..does anybody know any suggestions on what to do? i have tried fenderwell exit headers and everyother set of header we have laying around. nothing works. So let me know if you have ever done a v-8 swap in a jeep and how you ran your steering rod.
