I agree and it’s so rarely brought up! Unless you’re doing a full cage, this is just opening up a huge can of worms. The TB anchors are carrying all that load and transferring it back to the crossmember which has a lot less bending moment (arm). Going the coil-over route adds immensely to the...

If the trans mount is in the correct position and the engine & trans are bolted together correctly then the chances of the engine being too far forward seem pretty slim. I’ve never worked on post ‘69 B bodies so I can’t say how things are laid out in them.

Thanks for the link! I had some time on my hands because...Corona...so I bent some heavy wire and came up with a knock-off. That coupler cap just wont stay on with the amount of movement due to that shaft offset.

MoparGuy68, I read your thread. What a heartbreaking story, and I hope it works out. My headers are Hooker Super Comps. There is a plate welded to them that says so. I noticed yours also has the #1 primary tube coming down at a similar angle, but apparently not exactly the same if it’s hitting...

Hey all, I've gathered quite a bit of information from this forum and I thought I'd at least share some of what I've learned during the latest project I've tackled with this beast of mine. So I decided to tackle the Borgeson/Bergman steering box conversion. I'm pretty much done with the...
