whats going on every one.....

Putting a LT1 which was suspose to be out of a 1995 TA into a 1994 Z28. So far, only difference has been the motor mounts, quck fix. Now, the new motor is in and we installed a set of short tube, ceramic coated headers. All was fine until we went to move the car. the steering colum is rubbing against the driver side header. It is not clearing by 1/16th of a inch. Dont really know what to do, dont want to return the headers as i bought them over a year age. Does anyone know if the steering colums are different from a 95 TA to a 94 Z28. And if they are different, would I be able to swap them.

Thanks in advance to anyone who responds, this is the last thing holding up the car.....

 

The steering rack is all the same, what brand of headers did you get?

 

everything should be exactly the same...i have heard people having issues with pacesetter long tubes clearing the steering rod, never heard any issues with shorties

 

Guess you don't know, but the LT-1 is a GM "Corporate" engine. It's not a Camaro or Firebird engine any more, as in the olden days. Camaro/Firebird=same engine.
So, your issue isn't because of the block. It's just part of the fun of cramming headers in. You're probably going to need to give it a couple of good raps with a ball-peen hammer, or lay a piece of pipe on the header tube and whack it. Covering the header tube with duct tape first will help protect it.
