FPA Fitment Issues

So I got the driver side header in with no drama, but the passenger side seems to be too 'short'. My specific problem is that when the hedder is bolted to the head, the collector is touching the floor. It was so bad that I couldn't even attach the flange to the head, but a little coaxing with a pry-bar fixed that.

Has anyone had this issue, and how do I fix it?

The collector needs to come down about an half an inch, So i was wondering if there is any adjust ability in the motor mounts you guys know about.

Also, the headers are coated, so I was wondering if it would be a bad idea to apply heat to the tubes If I try to bend the collector down.

(these are the 15/8 to 13/4 stepped headers for a 351w torino/montego btw)


Thanks
