383 to 440 headers wont fit???

71 roadrunner 383 factory. Dropped the 440 in today and the passenger header top tube hits the inner fender and shock tower. the same headers fit the 383 fine. I know I am taller and broader now. Anyone have suggestions? Thanks

Thanks Bob. 700-800 bucks and needs a mini starter and I may have to go that direction but does a hooker comp work. Same part number for 383 and 440 which makes me wonder. I know the ports are the same but the broader 440 gets closer to the inner fenders.

the 426 hemi head is a LOT different. the main diff is a stud on the hemi head under the intake port. and a long ear cast in to the block that the studs go through. with stud nuts in the tappet valley. that location on a 440 head is a head bolt threading into block like the other head blots. i have seen a mod where the 440 is ground on and a long ear welded to the block to take the hemi stud.
