360 motor mounts=header clearance issue?

[OldBlue68]

Hello i have just recently ordered a pair of fc2 from sanderson headers in my 1968 f100 i have a400m when the headers didnt fit for the 3rd time i started going over other things, my question is when the motor swap was done in my truck the old 360 motor /frame mounts where left in, if i where to switch to motor and frame mounts for the 400m would it be enough difference to get the clearance i need? since on the passenger side it hits the frame rail just slightly and on the driver side gets stopped by the stearing box, any info helps thanks

They didn't make motor mounts for a 400 in a '68. Have you asked Sanderson about using those headers with your setup?

I use Sanderson FC3s in my '53, but I have R&P steering and many other things that are different than a '68, including custom motor mounts.
