I've made a plate over where the old steering column came through, I'll be figuring out where to drill the hole for my new column. I put the mock engine back in with the headers to verify possible interference. Looks like I have plenty of room~!!
I guess my main question here is adequate space for a radiator and which choice of fan, be it electric or the fan in the pic, or opinions are quite welcome!. However doesn't look like a lot of space. I don't have a radiator to put in, can any of you, my faithful followers tell me a 2 core radiator will clear what i have here?
below; firewall kind of as good as I'm going to get it, except for filler.
If all looks well, I can proceed with closing my frame in (blocking it in), Install the steering column(temporarily), make sure it's where I want it, put the seat back in(argh), re-install the steering gear, get the length of the shaft from the steering gear to the column. A months worth of work
