o2 sensors on kooks mid headers

Ok guys, I had my kooks headers originally on my 93 thunderbird lx. At one point in time I decided to change the Oxygen sensors on the car. I bought the bosch sensors from either Napa or advanced auto. I was not able to use one of the sensors because the sensor itself was like 1/2 inch-1 inch taller then the factory sensor and it hit the floorboard of the car before being able to get it lined up to thread in the hole.

Anybody else ever have this problem? Maybe I could have taken weight off the suspension and the sensor would have fit in the hole no problem but I can't remember. That was like 5 years ago so who knows, maybe I didn't think of that at the time:confused:

The reason I ask is because I'm about to buy sensors for my 89, maybe i'll have to buy motorcraft if their not discontinued
