i have a fenton 2x1 with fenton headers. no issues with clearance. are you saying since you have so much money into the engine now, that you cant afford headers/aftermarket intake? speedway makes some cheapo steel headers for like 130 bucks, but if you hold out and look, you can find cast iron ones for around 100 bucks used. that's what i picked mine up for. good luck -DVZ
