Front is good enough now to roll around, but still needs steering (going to need to use a U-joint style steering shaft with 3 U-joints to clear the upper control arm).
Another possible option is to use the dodger style flat arms that Michigan Metal works has.

Nope. They won't work (they didn't work for my 1.5" sectioned x-member). They only work if the x-member is in the original position as it attaches to the frame & that's all they said would work. I bought them to see if they would work. The front bushing barrel occupies the same real estate as the steering shaft if the distance between them is altered which requires a multi U-joint arrangement.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
