So my header is tapping the bottom of the drivers side floorboard when the motor shakes under tq loads. It is highly annoying. What can i put on the header, or the floorboard that can resist the heat, and get rid of the metal on metal noise? I thought header wrap but isnt that basically metal? Heater hose would melt right? Ive bent it down a bit, but it moves back after a week. Dont want to pry too much and rip the header off the block..
Any suggestions welcome.. thanks all

I head clearanced my floor some and wrapped mine with header wrap, and had poly mounts. Still had some vibration but alas, I jury-rigged a cheap solution.
U bolt bracket, high temp hose threaded over the bracket.
Pry it down, slip on your rubber U bolt bracket, secure it and viola.
