Worked on car a little... Picked up a steering box and linkage from a 67 mercury comet. It looked like it would work for me. I can't use my stock steering box due to clearance with the starter. Mocked it up and looks like it might just work without much work! WOW What do you think? Will it work? Seems to good to be true...

Looks like it fits nicely but how about exhaust manifold clearance?

The exhaust manifold should not be a problem as long as I get a exhaust mainfold that dumps downward at the rear... Which is ok because I was planning on rnning a stock stlye manifold anyway. I will also be shorting the steering shaft a little to connect a universal joint to my stock steering column. So I should be ok. I'll keep you posted!

Well I've been working and not posting... I removed motor and trans (trans will get rebuilt before I put it back in) to work on steering. Here's some pics of my progress...
Original steering holes 1586 1628 Made slugs and welded in 1629 1587 Location holes for new steering box 1630 1588 Drilled 5/8 holes to insert round pipe for strength 1631 1589 Weled them in... 1632 1590 Grinded them smooth and possible 1633 1591 Mounted steering box 1634 For some reason I'm having problems with my pics. It also will not let me post another other pic of other side of gearbox... But you get the point if you can see these pics  1592 1593 Couple more things to do on steering. Need to cut and isolator pad for behind gear box and add lock nuts. Also need to mount drag link and re-paint rail. I'll keep you posted!! I think it came out ok, What do you think
