I was in the same position about a year ago and had my hands on some shorty mustang headers. The measurements I had showed it was going to be a tight fit so I just used the CV exhaust manifolds.

The CV manifold don't appear to work for me. Mainly its the drivers side that is the issue. The exhaust outlet from what I see is at the rear of the manifold and would hit my steering linkage. Maybe you have a different manifold? One that dumps out the middle would be great. How does yours work with the steering shafts.

I used the stock CV manifolds. In my video below you can get a good view at about the 4:20 minute mark. It's a little tight but it does clear. ~Pat
