Ok so i have had this car since 2003 haven't done much to it other than the cage cowl 4in hood and a fuel cell..that's it lol

so now i am dedicated to start and finish hopefully sooner than later so here we go!!













I built a 540 but ended up throwing it into my boat..so here's my new power plant and 4l60e trans..






left over wire from building my standalone harness.





Car is off to paint and body color red i believe code 75 1970 chevelle red..

Default Steering Gearbox Question

I am in the process of dropping a 2004 LS6 and T-56 from a CTS-V into my 1966 Chevelle. The factory power steering box will not clear the alternator. Have you got that far if so what box did you use?
