header heat

Hello, I installed a set of super comp headers into my 65 and they were a tight fit.My question is that the headers are very close to my steering box,like maybe less than a 1/4 of an inch,will the heat screw up the steering box? I noticed that my steering get's real smooth as things heat up.Thanks

I wouldn't worry about it. Mine are close at one spot.

No they are not wrapped.Is there something that I could put between then to direct the heat away..heat tape?

You could also try having your headers coated, that will bring the temp down.
