Re: Rogers50

Keeping a straight 6 or putting in a small block? With a v8 you'll need to get a caprice or camaro, manifold... lots of options here. You can also offset the engine to the passenger side a bit too.

Re: Rogers50

You can also space the steering box out a bit. An inch I think. Others will pipe in.

Re: Rogers50

ok...we'll try to keep all this info in one spot .....
I saw in your other post your using heidts m2...so I'm assuming you have a r&p..your gonna have to route your steering around manifolds and frame..this is very common on these swaps..this is accomplished with the use of multiple u-joints and d-shaft with heim joint supports...be sure to use quality stuff...there's a lot of pics in the build thread section on this....

fuel tanks can be a lot of choices...from camaro to blazer to mustang to aftermarket....your choice..are you gonna use a intank pump or external?... a very good choice and quality unit is boyds...all aluminum with in tank pump...
