Re: Powersteering conversion issue

It does have wilwood drop spindles on it.

Thanks for any further info.

This is common when the center-link/drag-link is flipped when reassembling. The inner TRE's should not make contact w/the center x-member throughout lock-to-lock turning travel.

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.
