Fox Steering Shaft/Column
Fox Steering Shaft/Column If anyone has or can take pictures of their dynatech headers on ls1 in a 87-93 foxbody can you please post them in this thread. I did a lot of searching and found the thread where they found out they were different from 94-04 ones.
Preferably looking for driver side close ups and steering shaft clearances. I know a lot of people run the flaming river shafts. Is this necessary?
I removed my shaft today and the pass side slid right on, but the driver side was being a pita. There is just a mock up motor in the car and was checking for clearances now. I had the motor lifted up but when trying to put back down the steering column was in the way. Do I have to push the column in some. I read too that it moves from left to right? Is the steering shaft supposed to go inside between the header and block? Help please!

Ok so I pushed the steering column back in towards the firewall and I got the shaft to slide on and it clears the back primary. Is this how most people with the dynatechs run them? Because the shaft is about 2 inches short now. So what do I do now? I know I have to get another shaft because of the big *** rag joint anyways, but wont it still be too short?
I do not believe the column will clear if I pull it out from the firewall as far as possible? But I have not tried. How do you guys run them?

steering shaft clearance? Did you ever manage to figure out a solution to this clearance issue? I have a set of dynatech 1 7/8 long tubes and a team z k member. The picture you posted is literally the same problem I am having too. I have a flaming river manual rack and low-profile shaft, but that still hasn't fixed the problem. I have yet to play around with adjusting the steering column and I believe there is just barely some play in my motor mounts to bring the engine forward. I'll post an update tomorrow and pics if i can manage to figure it out. Any help is appreciated! Thanks! -Taylor
what most people do not realize not only side to side on the steering column but you can run spacers on it. The 2 bolts close to the firewall (under the dash) I have about 3/4 spacer and then the closet to me I think I have about 1/2" washers. I use 1 7/8th Kooks on mine. Few guys have done it this way when I told them it does work.
