My plans include an engine swap to big block power, Np435, possibly a doubler, a Dana 60 front, Corporate 14bolt rear, and crossover steering just to name a few things.
If anybody see's any stock parts they are in need off, I will not be reusing alot of this stuff. Just ask and I might have what you need.
The old "Big Block" (Cdn. 251ci.) and trans is out and now there is room for the new Big Block and trans
Here is a shot of the original steering linkage:
And all the room I get to play with after I removed it. A cross-over steering box will do the steering duties from now on.
Naturally the driver need some type of mechanism to turn the steering box, so a new coloum had to be installed, and that inturn meant some mounts needed to be fabbed up.
This is the original under-dash coloum support with some new mounts tacked on the side of it to hold the new coloum.
Fully welded with some additional support and freshly painted. I drilled a few extra adjustment holes in the mount so that I had some wiggle room to adjust the coloum if needed.
The original dash cover needed some massaging to fit the new coloum - the chalk lines indicate where I had to cut the plate. A jig saw with a metal blade worked wonders. This plate is at the very limit of my air nibbler. The saw worked much better.
Some fresh paint on the cover as well.
No pic with the cover installed, but viola! - tilt steering.
And the coloum comes out at the factory angle, and in the factory spot - which means no body work for me ! Ya!!
I also started to play around with my tcase's tonight - looks like I might be in for a PIA setup - but at the moment its too early to tell.
