Dont waste your time. I did it to my 64 swb. It is scarry as hell to drive. The angle of the drag link is waaayyyy of. I heated and bent the steering arm down trying to correct it, but the axle is in the way of gettin it all the way down. My slick now sits in the driveway awaiting a mustang 2 kit.

Hummm...... I didnt think about reaming the steering box holes in the frame. Sounds pretty good in theory. I like that idea allot better than the one my buddy sugested. His idea involved diet and excercise :shock: Thanks guys

I actually used the carb off the old motor. The more I got to looking at it, the origional motor had alot of new parts on it, carb, dist and cap, starter, and water pump. It was all covered in an 1/8th inch of red dirt, but all cleaned up well :D
