66-67 Nova BB firewall clearance

I need to know if a BB short deck or tall deck will have any firewall clearance problems in a 67 nova. Also does the tall deck need custom headers or are they universal for short and tall deck alike.

Thanks,
Rick

I put a 454 in a 66 nova it was pretty much a bolt it. The fenderwells had to be cut and rebuilt for the headers to clear. The fire wall was not a problem. If you use a raised block it may be different.
