Mocking everything up ahead of time is key when building something modified. I was gifted a newest of headers but had used an older set for mock up, of course the gifted set wouldn't fit. I did some serious research and talked with a ton of Tech Rep's before I found a set to clear everything, even the starter.
My '59 is modified using a 327 V8 with side mounts, dropped front axle and a CPP power steering gear. These headers clear, I still have the rear engine cross member.

They clear pretty well. If your concerned about heat add some Dynamat or other thermal insulation to the floor.
