I'm working on putting a Coyote 5.0L (F-150 junkyard motor) in my 97 GT with a non-Cobra-spec T45, but I've run into a problem with the BBK Coyote swap headers. The driver's side is header points into the transmission crossmember, making it impossible to install the matching mid pipe. The problem exists with the stock crossmember, as well as a Stiffler's crossmember to basically the same extent.
Has anyone else run into this? If so, how did you fix it? Could my header be bent? It does not seem like there's any slop in the installation of the header that would let me tweak the alignment.
