1st gen f body, lsx swap, BRP mount and hooker swap headers a no go

Has anyone fit in hooker headers with brp engine mounts? I just got the newer brp engine mounts, and the drivers side header hits in multiple places. I thought I was going to fit them with no denting, but if they don't work I'll gladly return them and get the stainless works headers rather then denting the hookers and recoating.

I guess different mounts is also an option if I must but I'd like to retain these as I also have the crossmember made by brp that is for my tko600. This issue, relocation brackets for the ac and alt, and hood clearance are the small things left from keeping my car off the road, everything else is finished for now, then comes the rear suspension overhaul in the winter.

Why not try the Muscle Rod/Hedman hedders they sell (I think they are guaranteed to fit with their mounts)? I used them on my second gen with no issues.

Yeah, use the headers designed for their mounts...the Heddman BRP/Musclerods ones. They fit every time, because the mockup vehicles that BRP sets the mounts up on go straight to Heddman for headers to be designed. Check out my thread in the advertiser special section; my prices are lower than anyone's on their stuff.
