I don't have the tunnel for a full sheild, so I bought a blanket for my 727 torqueflite.
Problem is I have very little clearance between the TTI headers and the side of the tranny.
If I wrap the headers I'll have no clearance. Is that blanket just going to melt or am I okay??
 
Or just notch the blanket, or give the headers a tweak with a bar, or wrap the headers there.
 
I'd say cold, mild steel is nice and flexible so it shouldn't take too much of a tweak. Every car is different and mass manufacturing is messy, having to tweak here or there is normal. Wrap the bar so it doesn't mark up, go gentle and get a feel for it.

Have fun!
