Windsor swapping my 66 Custom Cab

Ok, got the 5.0 and AOD in the 66. Drive shaft is on the way. Now for exhaust.
Changed to Bendix steering gear, so, looks like my Hookers are too close on the last two. ...any suggestions?

You may know this already, but it is a must read for anyone swapping in an AOD if they are not familiar with how those transmissions work. HOW TO: Changing Carburetors and Making it Work with an AOD - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums (ford-trucks.com)
If you only need a little clearance on the headers there is no performance change if you beat on them some.
