Motor mount header clearance

I just installed hooker headers on my 69 cutlass and i am worried about the motor mount clearance on the drivers side. One of the header tubes is about 3/16 to 1/4 inch from touching the motor mount and i was wondering if that will be to much heat for the mounts or if its ok.

I suspect you will be fine, but if you are losing sleep over it, consider fabbing a sheet metal heat shield.
