What did you end up doing Iethiopian? If i wrapped the headers and the cable would it still toast it?

I personally can not say that if both were wrapped that it would not toast the cable, just talking from my own experience. I thought I had a straight shot at that mounting hole on the housing past the header tube but it just so happened that it was touching the tube ever so slightly. Just enough to toast the hell out of it. Was very frustrating when the cable seized up in the outer sleeve. I ended up using a Hydraulic set up and it is working out just fine.
Other options; would be a set of shorties, I sure there are no issues with routing the cable with headers that do not hug the bottom of the bell housing.
Relocating one of the tubes on your headers so that the cable has plenty of clearance (and still wrap the cable because those headers throw out a lot of heat).
Custom headers.
I know it is a royal pain in the ass when you have come so far and then run into one of these little snags. I think eveyone here has been there.
You could also try calling Bruce at Modern Driveline and see if they have any header recommendations for your application with the T-5 that would be a sure fit.
Good luck,
