The shaft part that connects the universal joints is 3/4 inch cold rolled solid steel, we machined the one end to go into the stock steering shaft. The aluminum bracket in the middle has a roller bearing in it, in which we machined the custom support bracket for the bearing to fit and height, we still had to ding the header tube just a little bit...Those headers are the tri Y's which are stainless steel that I got off of ebay for 95 bucks...universal joints where bought from speedway motors, the double joint was 126 bucks.
The starter fit right in with no issues..the right side header flange is up against the pan rail on the AOD but a friend has a muffler shop and he said no problem fixing that....Going to use the electric fuel pump in the tank since it's a low pressure pump hooked to a fuel pressure regulator with bypass. I hit the junk yards and found a 1988 Ford Ranger with out air conditioning and got the air box for the heater part and had to modify air box some what..
Next up is the wiring up the motor so stock gauges and everything works...
