Hey Greg great pics, car is coming along beautifully. With my similar set up minus the Woodward rack, the passenger side is cake. The driver side is a different story. From your pics, it looks like your steering shaft mount location on the rack exaggerates this as well and forces the header mods? Same boat here...

My options are to either get a Borgeoon triple joint coming off the rack, or mod a tube (or both). I could also go to a multi-sectioned steering shaft, but that's not preferable.

Hey Ron,

Because mine is a tall deck block and the Woodward rack, there was nothing I could do but make a set, and I really am enjoying the challenge.

Thanks for the info Ron,
I re measured and it is 28".

I don't have all the engine specs as it's being built at the moment.

:thumbsup:

2" x 28" will be right in the ballpark for a engine like this making 700-720 HP.

Best wishes.
