Default Now here is another 1st for me

Not knowing any difference a customer had stainless steel headers made for a BB in the same configuration as a small block.

For those that don't know the #4 tube is supposed to come out high, then a large loop back down into the normal collector. The purpose for this is to allow the steering shaft to run under this tube, close to the block. allowing a pretty straight configuration to the steering wrack.

Well, a little engineering, two 3/4x36 splined u-joints, one Heim joint and the two normal joints for the end of the shaft and the start of the wrack, two 10" straight shafts, and you have a direct hook up!

Much better than original and absolutely no play!
Another, "can't be done" fact refuted. All for the better.
