Mounts and Header issue

So I used the 94 mustang mounts, after lots of cutting on the cross member i got it in. Didn't have to do anything to the fire wall, did have to heat gun the heater box. Its off set to the pass side about inch and a half which I think is right for offset, but the pass header is maybe 1/4 inch from touching, should I not worry about it or shim the motor up some?

The boy's engine is offset a little but not that much. I would just cut a little of the frame where the header is close. Not butcher it but just enough it will clear the torque of the engine. If you have a 1/4" inch now I would say a 1/2" cut would be plenty and that would not weaken the frame any. Many people have done this with no problems.

The header is directly over the frame, it sits above it that much. I'd probably have to make a pretty good cut to clear it :S. I think I can run a pipe up to it though its pretty open there, and the heat shield is still in place there.
