    help needed with shifter rod issue

    i was using the stock manifolds on my 82 c10 LS swap, but i recently bought some 2002 ls1 camaro headers the pass side fit good, the problem is the driver side. the header fit but i cant shift into gear because it hits on the header collector. i need opinions on how i can get this fixed. im gonna cut the collector and weld it straight but its still not enough to clear the shifter rod. heres a pic

    Move the shift linkage over sideways.

    the linkage arm is bent towards the trans, bend it towards the frame rail.

    Lokar makes a linkage cable kit that would work. I used the same kit on a 70 C-10 when installing a 4L60e and headers. Eliminated the rod linkage.

    so, do you have the selector rod or cable? Now I'm totally confused.

    I have a selector rod, the one in the pic. im gonna take your idea and get that arm closer to the frame. if i cant get it working than i might have to buy a cable shifter as pitchblack said.
