Seems I have similar problem in just completed rebuild. Any new info or recommendations? I am inclined to take the pipes to a muffler shop and have the problem fixed fully unless I can get some shims between manifold and pipes.

Here is the issue: 1949 ford flathead V8 F5 truck. Muffler crossover under engine touches bottom of oil pan. How to resolve? Shims and additional gaskets between manifolds and muffler to lower the crossover? Or shall I take muffler apparatus to muffler shop to have it re-configured? Seems like shims will not create the recommended 1.5 to 2 inch clearance recommended by some of posters in this thread.
