I had to raise (tilt) the engine a bit to get mine in. The worst part was
grinding away a good half inch of the headers mounting plate to get it
mounted. I'm not sure of the reason it is made that wayt, but it is quite a
pain.
The header did mount very close to the frame. So much that when the
car was idling, the header would knock against it. It was annoying
enough that I fixed it pretty quickly.

Has anyone installed a header on a 1500 Spitfire? Do you have to raise
the engine up to get the header in place? I did that but the header hits
the frame and won't bolt tight to the head because of the lack of
clearance.
Any help is appreciated!
