As stated in messages on other boards, I purchased this 65 Belvedere not knowing a lot about the initial build and the elderly gentleman I purchased it from had a lot of " senior moments" as to what was in it......and just to clarify. I'm going on 71yo, so if I make a"senior moment" comment I'm including myself in there. OK,... I digress.
The 65 Belvedere has , by block number , a 1970 440. When up on a lift I noticed the extreme proximity of the tie rod to the old pan. I'g like to have a min of 1/4 to 1/2 inch clearance. Anyone run across this before and is there a stock or off-the-shelf, aftermarket solution ? Maybe a tierod with a step in it ?
I find this especially disconcerting since I was just about to order the Milodon street / strip oil pan. Now I may old off until I get some experienced advice.
Thanks in advance to one and all. Ted
