I have noticed people having problems with clearance once headers & deep aluminum trans pans are combined, this as most of you know is due to the adapter fitting on the pan making the fill tube stick out farther than stock, I found a remedie for at least the heddmans from the mass buy(yes I 'm a shadow lurker but I'll get to the reason later) -- I had already drilled & tapped under the fill tube hole for a mechanical temp gauge which was 1/2" NPT thread just like the fill tube fitting which proved to be useful in this situation, I swapped the fitting & this caused the bend on the stock fill tube to start lower which is what is needed to clear the headers with about an 1/8 of an inch, for the top part that bolts to the bellhousing bend back or remove then tack a new one higher, all of this will make the reading higher than stock on the dipstick so measure the amount the fill tube dropped then mark accordingly above original full line,this may or may not work with other headers but works great without bending the tube so you can return to stock in an emergency pan situation, I hope this may help someone which is all a I ever try to do, I realize some unregistered start alot of s$%t but you should not believe we are all like that, I do not register is because of the Dale Dribble sydrome, I know through the grapevine of people on the web especially on the stang sites that do nothing but look for mods done on car and try to hone in on where they live, for instance with a license plate(which I've seen some of you show) one can find out the address,name & all the registered drivers in that housewhole, point is becareful if your going to tell ever last detail about your truck on the net or you truck may get towed away someone day and the theif won't even need to guess what he got cause you gave him the parts list
