…he's going to have a hell of a time, trying to put the steering box on the new reinforced frame…
Alvin: Well as Ed McMahon always would say to Johnny Carson....."You are correct sir"!

The steering box won't fit, but I new that as soon as I saw that bar. It will moved in order to get the box mounted, so no big deal. I had a chance to test fit the motor/headers today. There are a few minor changes that will need to be made to the new frame brackets, but nothing too drastic. Rob at No Limit won't have time to get to it until after SEMA though, so I wont be posting too much until next month. The rear diff is apart for new powder coating and inspection...no problems there. The engine is still in the build stage and I am waiting for final piston to deck height numbers in order to order my cylinder heads in the correct chamber size.
