Cut V8 motor mounts

[McComet1963]

Wanting to keep the headers from rubbing on the manual steering box.
Options are to cut about 1/4 in mounting hole on both mounts hopefully to shift the hearing away from running.
Anyone ever do this?

Ok so I got an answer from Modern Drive = NO
I will however dimple the headers fit...

Also the headers are wrapped and I am told this will void the warranty and destroy the headers from the inside...

Anybody running uncoated headers? Shorty's from Sanderson.
How's the heat under the hood?

can you space the engine up higher,,just enuff to help with clearance,,or new mounts,,maybe yours are old and flattened somewhat....transmission mount also.....pop
