Picture of Doug's D453 headers steering clearance

Wow, that looks like it is right up against the steering column. Is it because it is a column shift car or do all steering columns come down that far?

They were real close, some of the pictures don't show the actual clearance, but we had to shift the engines on the mounts as good as we could to get some clearance...

That car is actually a console, but may have a column shift steering column...
