Default Header clearence on sides of collectors?

I am mainly wondering about the drivers side header collector with a 3" collector. If you happen to know the pass side which I think has alot of clearance you can say it anyways.

I am wondering the left and right side clearance on the drivers side header collector on a 97' Z auto, the closer to that model the better.

Clearance on the sides, compared to what? Floor clearance has been the big issue since it sits really close to the stock fuel lines.

I am just wondering the space available to the left and the right of the drivers side collector. How much there is between it and the closest thing to the collector.

I saw one picture but it was angled and a manual trans.



The left looks fairly open but the right looks very close to the trans.

Trying to get an idea of something before I start taking things apart.

That pic is a little deceiving, it's really not that close... There's around 10" between the collector and my manual trans, I don't know about an Auto.

mine was real close to that beam so i took a 4" hole saw and put a round nothe in the beam and problem solved, just make sure you keep an eye on the fuel lines, i got the spped inc fuel line kit and ran them up the back of the engine.
