TSP ORY.......looks good on paper.....but on fitment.....not so much

i used new GM gaskets.....and old factory header bolts....the new stage 8 bolts that i had bought did not seem to want to work very well with these headers.......spark plug boot clearance was good on drivers side........pass side......not so much
