headers heading towards exhaust openings

[yahrt]

I have a 302 BPE with the FFR headers, both headers are angled towards the front of the car (i.e, <90 degrees off the block), the drivers side more so to the extent that the exhaust openings would need to be cut right up to the wheel wells. I am hesitant to do so without consulting the brain trust. The engine is level, and I assume it is impossible for it to be cockeyed. Any thoughts?

The pipes curve rearward from the headers. Although the body cutouts will require a bit of trimming you'll find that when you get the pipes and headers mated up they aren't as far forward as it appears.
