Hello all, I’m in need of some advice, so I have a 1966 F-250 Camper Special 352 4speed 2wd, I just got done rebuilding the engine and while it was out I decided to put longtube headers on it, i now have the engine back in, but the clutch fork is hitting the end of the headers. Therefore it isn’t letting the clutch fully engage, so onto the question, If I trim the end of the clutch fork to where it does not hit the header, will it still have full integrity or will it weaken it too much? Only other option I can think of at this point would be to pull the header and cut the end of it off, but possibly run into problems with that as well. Thanks in advance!

...don't have a photo of your problem, but I would think to modify the clutch fork and not the header...
