LSx Valiant Build. Take a look inside...

So to get this thread back on track, let me go ahead and post the very small progress I have made and the direction which I will be taking with the car.

Over the last year or so I've focused on trying to figure out the exhaust for the vehicle. The biggest obstacle has been a) getting around the steering box and b) the torsion bars. The simple solution would be to do a coilover setup. I would love to do this, but it simply isn't in the budget. So the torsion bars will be staying. In order to create more room however, the power steering box was swapped out for a manual box.


Stock box took up way too much room, who needs power steering anyway?


Took this little guy off a 69 Dart.


As it sits now in the car, yes I know those manifolds are upside down... :)


Close up of the Bryke coupler I will be using, do you guys recommend drilling
a hole for a set screw on the column side? Seems to be a pretty snug fit already.
