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. DV |
Come on Ed, pics?;)

Ok, should have done this in the first place. I used all Flaming River parts, including a 30" column. It has a Double D shaft. At the column one double 'D' 3/4" U-joint. Then a 10" straight 3/4" splined-both ends. shaft. (This was trimmed down to roughly 9-1/4"s). A 3/4" double splined U joint. Then another double splined 3/4" inch U joint. This shaft MUST be supported by a 3/4" Heim Joint. The Heim was fitted to an up-right bracket I fabricated- welded to the frame just in front of the #1 header tube. Last up is another double splined U joint to the steering wrack only one end is 1/2" inch (To the wrack) the other end is a standard 3/4" splined.
Doing it again from scratch? I'd drop the length of the column to a 26" length and change the first 3/4" shaft to 14"s long. Although I have the column securely mounted a little shorter would just make it a little neater and even have less of an opportunity to wobble. DV |
