6.0 transplant into a 72 chevelle. I'm flipping the exhaust manifolds upside down to run a single turbo setup. Unfortunately the steering shaft interferes with the drivers side manifold at the u-joint part of the steering shaft. I tried to clearance the steering shaft but the amount that I have to remove is way too much and I already went through the wall of the joint that contains the u-joint, grease, etc.

Anyone have any suggestions on what I can use to replace it with something with more clearance that I can utilize the stock rag joint and will fit on the splined end of the steering column?

 

look into a borgenson[spelling?] joint lot of racecar places should have them a bunch smaller than the u-joint on your shaft. jim.m

 

exactly what I'm looking for, thanks

 

if the borgeson is too large in diameter try sweet manufacturing.

 

2002 Camaro manifolds tuck tighter to the block. Might want to take a look at them. I had to use them to clear my frame rails. The difference was about 3 inches when installed normally.

i had to use the 00-02 fbody manifolds also on my swap. they seem to work well
