Default Is it too close?

My drivers side header seems like its too close to the steering linkage. Does anyone else have this? Does it matter if its close, just as long as its not touching.

If its not touching, dont worry bout it... On my last car it did rub the header, I tapped a litte dent in the primary and it stopped...

Put in new urethane engine mounts, problem solved. If the mounts are old (which most LT1's are by now) the engine will settle out of its original position.

the whole engine bay is clustered and close. get some poly mounts and be done with it.
