Hi all,
I have been going through the archives for information on the use of the
stock steering column/box and a small block Chev. One source states
that the steering box has to be moved over to the left 1/2 inch while
another source says that the steering box has to go over 1 1/2 inches in
order to provide enough clearance for the exhaust manifold. Which is
it??
As well I would like to know whether other people out there have set the
box over on a bit of an angle so that the column ends up in the right
spot between the instrument holes?
I would appreciate hearing from others out there who have this setup:
smc 305 V8 with TH 350 transmission. I am running the stock beam axle
with the disc brake conversion. I have a set of the bolt in "saddle"
mounts for the engine and the transmission. I also have a rams horn
exhaust manifold with the exhaust outlet angled forward. I was told by
the guy who gave it to me that this also help clear the steering box.
Thanks in advance for the help!
