Doug's headers not fitting - frustration

Well the trans mount is a new old part I've had laying around forever so I think it's OK and the crossmember is stock but I will definitely keep that in mind.

Re-reading this morning I realized one thing I have failed to do is to loosen the block-to-bracket bolts. I've only been loosening the bottom stud between the mount and the k-frame. That will be the first thing I do the next time I'm at the car.

Based on the 1/8" measurement from yesterday I'm included to agree that the problem seems to be at the transmission end of things.
You know Bob, this could be a combination of all these adjustments needing to be done.
As I'm sure you know, they all add up, an 1/8th here, a 1/16th there etc ...
