Default problem with headers and stering linkage

anyone else have this problem? they are resting on the headers. i have to jack up the motor slightly to get the sterring knuckle on. I think if it goes up 1/4 inch it would clear...any ideas? what are my options on fixing it?
replace motor mounts with poly ones? (where to get these)
washers between the motor mounts/k member, motor/motor mounts???
anything else?

im using pa racing k member and dynaflow longtubes

Althought i don't have dynaflow, i had to grind the head off the steering knuckle bolt "just to flatten it some". Mine did not fully rest on the shaft.

i modified my steering shaft by taking it off,cutting out a 2" section and welding in a smaller,solid rod.but it helps to work in a machine shop and also have welding equipment around.poly mounts may be the way to go.
