Header Clearance

Hey all,
I recently built a ford 302 and put it into a '69 Fairlane. I have
a set of Dynomax headers, specific to this car, but there's a slight
problem. They come out way too low and have a tendency to scrape the
ground when pulling into parking lots and going over large bumps in the
road. This is something that has brought me much grief, as you've
probably surmised that I've had to deal with bent header-to-head
flanges, which result in exhaust leakage right at the head. I've
temporarily fixed the leakage by sandwiching a pair of header gaskets in
there, but I'd rather not risk busting off studs in my expensive new
aluminum heads.
So, my options are to either raise the suspension up (which I don't
want to do for handling purposes, it already corners like ****), or find
a shorter set of headers that will work with my year Fairlane. Does
anyone know if there's a "shorty" header, or just plain shorter header
that will work with this vehicle? Any help would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks.

-Rob
