There isn't enough clearance. There's numerous "fixes" for that, starting with--but not limited to--getting a different exhaust manifold.
Any idea how I can determine which left side manifold will give enough clearance on my 71 GT-37? The 6X heads have 6 bolt holes. Unlike the left side which has minimal clearance, the right side manifold leaves plenty of clearance., As near as I can tell, right side manifold was originally from a 65 GTO. Number is 9779328.
