Default Need Help. LS Swapped 91 454 SS

Hows it going guys, here are some photos of the build. Its almost finished. 6.0, 317 milled heads, full bolt on, cammed, 4l80 , custom harness, e fans. The only issue is my builder is saying the long tubes are hitting the frame? I've had a few guys told me they should bolt up no problem that they had no issues, my headers are from Schoenfield headers and mounts from Dirty Dingo. Maybe I ordered the wrong headers, They told me they may have to make my drive shaft longer?? Any help to avoid that I would appreciate it. Thank You

I originally used those swap headers and had no problems that I remember. I also put in a 4l80e and was able to re use my drive shaft.

I have dirty dingo mounts and Schoenfeld headers and they fit very well. What part of the frame is your builder saying the headers are hitting?

I have schoenfeld headers and 1" setback adapters 5.3 in a 95 and no issues with the frame, I did have issues with the cab on the passenger side. Seems to me like your engine is too far forward.
