early cj5, f head, clifford headers and a snaggy swap??????

I just acquired a set of Clifford headers from a member here. With plans to put them on my JEEP But tonight I was doing some measuring and looking. Will the Clifford headers clear the steering shaft? I looks like the header will be really close to the shaft. Would love to see some pic's if anyone out there has a set up like this. Did you have to clearance the header some around the shaft?

Thanks guys!!

 

The Clifford header should clear when put on a F-head. I don't have one on mine but a friend did and it went on fine. If I remember right it is very tight though - I think he used a floor jack to tilt the motor over some then let it back down into place

 

Thanks Bob, gonna work on it tomorrow and see what I can come up with.
