highboy header issue

Ok so my 74 highboy has the new 428 in it as many of you know and has a brand new set of headman headers. Super nice fit except for one thing.... my high pinion axle hits them when the springs compress -.- the square connector that holds the U joint is hitting two of the pipes... cuz stupid me forgot the truck came factory with a low pinion axle.... are there any other headers that will work with the highboy with a FE and the high pinion? I have a ratty old set of what look to he dougs tri y headers that I can use cuz the driver side pipes angle toward the passenger side clearing the pumpkin and drive shaft unlike the current ones. But I'd like the new engine to have a set of nice ceramic ones like it does now....
