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.

Default Come on----

Double Venom Ed you better hurry up, hunting season is starting and fishing is closing. If you want to eat this winter, you better change gears. Hear its going to snow in OCT this year. Something to do with the 3-4 degree axlis wobble of the planet. Rick L.

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.
