steering box CLEARS headers!!!!!! pics
sorry carl i havent been in my garage in 3 weeks almost, its been about a hundred and humid everyday and a few days with the heat index it hit 112!!!!!! i looked at the headers and as far as installing them from the bottom, i dont think they will fit. i did mine with the box out and slid the box up from the bottm. i forgot to check the dist. from the firewall i'll check tomorow though. any other pictures or anything i can check for ya?

On the bolts on the steering box, try using some button head allen bolts instead of grinding. I'm not sure if the steering box is anything different from a vega steering box but I have seen some smaller boxes out there.
Rybar,
I think you may have a rack & pinion header. SW stated that their headers are designed around the S&P plates, so yours should have been easy. Yeah, like any header install and fitment is easy!

Here is a measurement from the pass side head to the firewall using ATS plates and mounts.
Here is the ATS Tri-Y header clearance on the P/S box:
Here is another view of driver side header in stainless steel:
Hope that helps some guys.
