What type of headers?

Check your motor mounts and make sure that they don't need replaced.
A new set may give you the needed clearance if your old ones are sagging.

My Hooker Super Comp long tubes are pretty close to the steering shaft- are these the headers you have?

My RK's did the same thing. I had to modify it by lengthening the steering shaft to clear the header. I also shifter the column over about 1/4 ". I now have plenty of room with no rubbing.

It just takes creativity to solve these type of fitment issues.

Whatever you do, don't do what this guy did.
