Ryan, I'm using a Flaming River 35" column in my Nomad. I've pushed it as far forward as I can inside the car, which I recommend. I think the steering wheel is too close to the driver with any tilt column if you don't do that. Had a friend with a 57 using a tilt column (Ididit I believe) in the stock location and it was WAY too close for me. It may be more of a problem doing that with a 57 but Wade did it on his Nomad by trimming the instrument cluster a little. Looks like your headers should give you flexibility in locating the steering shaft. You'll have to notch the engine mount a little to clear the shaft so try to keep the shaft as high and as near the end of the upper a-arm shaft as you can.
Mine is really tight and I hope I didn't screw myself by re-routing the #5 tube.
