Default Oil filter figment with Doug's Headers?

I'm getting ready to drop my new 428 in this weekend. I had decided to go with a set of long branch manifolds on my car. A local member had a brand new set for sale. I went to check them out and ended up buying a set of lightly used ceramic coated Doug's shorty headers from him instead.

Yesterday I mocked up the headers while the engine was still on the stand. My 428 has the 110 degree oil filter housing and it looks like the filter and header will be touching.

I can rob the 90 degree housing off my 400 but I'm not sure that will make a difference. Has anyone else run into this issue? I'm thinking that a shorter filter would work but don't know if anyone makes one.

Any suggestions/feedback is greatly appreciated.
