header help again please

So as of right now I've tried four different sets of headers with no luck. I know I'm not the guy running a 351w in a 78 100 custom, with a c6 auto. I've need to know what headers you other guys are running in this set up. Even the block huggers from Flow tech want fit with out cutting the lip on motor mount. The long tubes I bolted on also hit the motor mount on the passenger side and rested on trans mount also after I lowered the motor back down.

At this point I feel like I'm about to go flippen crazy trying to find headers that fit. Right now I don't care if they are long tube or short as long as I can get a set to fit without cutting anything.

Sometimes you got to do what you got to do to get inboard headers to fit. If it's just a trim on the motor mount and maybe a little dent put in them I'd say all in all your getting off pretty easy. I've had to heat, bend, move pipes and on and on over the years with getting headers to fit.
