Gee, i installed my 70 hemi into my 70 superbee, no issues,
TTI headers, power steering etc.
I'll double check this afternoon if it is feasible to remove manual steering box with engine in car

The engine fits fine just wanted to change from manual steering to power and wondered if I could do this without taking the engine or drivers side header off looks pretty tight

The steering column will most likely need to be removed and the shaft swapped out too.

FYI manual steering shafts are longer because the manual steering box is smaller/shorter than power so you will need to shorten or get column or just the shaft from a power steering car.

Thanks guys , yeah i have a power steering colum shaft , thinking about using a Borgenson conversion box , I know its a bit pricy but have herd good things and its smaller and lighter.
How about taking the box out the top with the battery box removed?
