So I unbolted the drivers side header which will let it drop down a few inches, just enough to pound a dent where needed to clear the torsion bar. So bolt up back up, snug the bolts and get back underneath. Torsion bar clearance is good on that pipe, but now the pipe next to it is touching the torsion bar.
Lather, rinse, repeat.
Put a dent in the next pipe, bolt it back up, looks good.
But now that I have the mini starter in I notice that on the bottom of the starter there is a silicon boot covering up a big wire that bolts to the bottom. This boot is touching the top of the pipe that goes under the starter, and the connection that's inside that boot is probably only 1/8" away from the pipe. So to fix this i'll have to remove the starter, and jack the engine up so I can pull it towards the passenger side, so I can yet again try to slip the header completely out the bottom, so I can pound a dent in the top of that pipe.
I've had it with headers. I've already made 5 dents in these pipes to clear the steering box and torsion bars, and now I'm headed for number 6.
