I did Toyota power steering and also used a 30” Ididit column. Just have to use the right universal joint between the column and the box. Hooks up nicely.

great build. where did you get the fan shroud?
I cut back the fan shroud so it gave a bit more clearance to the pulleys.[/QUOTE]

Thanks Schules....
I have since ordered a 400 steering box and a CPP 30" column with no shift (going with a floor shift). Ordered a rag joint with it, so hoping that all goes in nice!!
I have to learn how to use this site so I can start making a build thread...I can build stuff but building a thread seems to be a mystery to me!!!
