Sbc swap header/motor mount problem

Hi, new to posting but have been cruising around awhile.
I have a 1985 4runner i am currently in the middle of a sbc swap. The motor is in the truck and bolted down but im having issues getting headers to fit. I am currently working with AA block hugger headers. the problem is not the headers hitting the frame or anything like that, they are hitting the motor mounts ( Transdapt). we already tried grinding down the mount and got just enough clearence on the passenger side to work, not how id like though. the collector on the driver side sits higher on the mount than the passenger side (if that makes sense). I have been looking around the forums for awhile and im seeing issues hitting the frame and such but i havent seen anyone with issues with the motor mounts being in the way. Maybe im just missing something
Any advice will be appreciated, Thank You.

Can you post up some pics? My header almost touches my mount on the driver side. Here is a pic of mine. Not the best pic.
