Long Tube Header Clearance

[mustangsteve]

I Have a 1991 mustang coupe and was wondering if there is anyone with full length headers that can tell me if there is any clearance issues? I would also like to install a lakewood saftey bellhousing with long tubes,is there any clearance issues with these items?

I have a set of Mac long tubes with a lakewood scatter shield.
I would recommend getting a minny starter for one.
There is some scatter shield to tube interferance on the right hand side.
I can't remember for sure, though I believe that I had to have the headers in place, but loose to get the scatter shield in.
After the scatter shield was tight, thwn I could tighten up the headers.
BTW this is in a 1985 car.

the only issue with my '88 was the starter......switching to a mini starter resolved the situation.........
