was wondering wut u guys/girls have used with a new steering column also to have it clear your headers right now i have a 390 and before i had it the guy bent the header to fit the old steering so please need help! where to look and what u are using thanks and also help with some good headers?

 

Whatever you use, why couldn't you just put the new column in the same place as the old one? If they built clearance for that one, it should be a non-issue.

 

well i was looking online i read about ppl taking out there steering box and adding in a ball bearing or something could that be connected to original steering column i cant find any more info on the bearing column ?? i need to have clearance with my headers the guy bent in with a hammer and heat and all made a crack no has bad exhuast leak lol sounds like a poping popcorn so please help on that bearing steering box ??

 

You ask about a new steering column and about a new steeringbox
I have now a ididit steering column with toyota powersteering box
And now problems with the headers

 

I had to modify my last tube to fit the toyota box in my '54 with a 390. sanderson ff390's

Header clearance - THE H.A.M.B.

i would think the stock box would fit better then the toyota one.

I have the stock header that is why it fit
The sanderson headers are larger

 

I seen some Here 0308Cl Straightaxil11 Z Photo 11
But if I found some stock 390 headers will it clear my original steering box in the 55 ?

 

But was wondering can that kit connect to my original column?

 

yes the toyota kit will fit your original column with mods. you'll need to cut the stock column and weld, spline your old shaft or double d the old shaft to fit the new u joint.
