Sooooooo -- I ground the lower portion of the header flange slightly removing less than a 1/8" ... made sure all surfaces were even. WaLa -- clearance at the steering box.

If you decide to try this -- Don't grind too much off the flange or you'll put the header tubes into the side of the block ... TAZ
So you angle milled them?
