More Sideways than forward..

spacers are 1/2 mild steel with hole drilled in center for bolt. If you want a pic pm me a e-mail and I will send you a pic of the spacers. 383 is not that hard to get in an a-body, 440 is much more challenging. Overdrive I hope is a cast iron case ? version. If you plan on slicks be warned small bolt pattern 8 3/4 axles and slicks end up sounding like a little kids vacuum popper lol. Make sure you have frame connectors and a drive shaft loop.

I have done most of what is described here, except for the k frame spacers. may still do that on down the road tho. what made mine even worse was me using raised port "victor" type heads,makes everything worse! now heater delete, but have a small hotrod heater to install for defrosters. there is a little play in the steering column where it passes thru the firewall, loosen all bolts and slide it toward the out side as far as you can, won`t be much, but it will help. keep pluggin!
