I forgot you had manual steering on this car. What is the standard manual box ratio, something like 20.1? A 12.7 manual with big tires must be a bear to turn when parking.

Lee Power Steering is an interesting company. I used them for my PS box on my '65. I didn't know they did manual boxes too. If i remember correctly, they do mostly power steering boxes for stock cars (NASCAR type).

With 5-1/2 or 5-3/4" backspace, do you think the 17 x 9's would fit in the front as well?

I'll be using a F-body or G-body tall spindle... probably the lighter F-body one (anyone know the weight difference between the two, spindle only) since i understand Bear can put up to 13" PBR big brakes on the F-body spindle.
