Sorry, I've waited for five years to do that. Seriously though, show us a picture or two and we might be able to help. I hope it works out for you. I'd be on the phone with the header manufacturer.

I don't have any idea how bad it is hitting but if its not much you could dent the primary(s) in just a little to get enough clearance.
I had to do that on my old LT1, and grind the steering shaft a little and sometimes it would still rub.

I didn't have that problem on my LS1 tho.

That's the suggestion I was going to make. The V6 r&p fits in there but the angle is way wrong for header installs. There is another post above this one that dealt with the same issue.
