Getting ready to swap a 5.7 into my 73 Dart Swinger

I just NOW got this notice but I see you've posted it a couple of weeks ago :-( If you've made up your mind, then it's done. THIS is the very reason that I moved my entire steering shaft away from the header area (about an inch). I used 2 3/4" swivel joints to accommodate the angle. It created a lot more room for header tubing. It was a lot of work and a difficult decision to jump into. I'm glad I did it tho.
Is your mind still made up?
Also, "tired of working on it and not driving it"? I was almost 3 years to the day and most of us old gear-heads are years into our projects. Have some patience :)

Thank you so much for the wise words I didn't know that you guys had so much time invested into your projects with my Camaro things were more wham bam thank you ma'am kind of deal but this one seems to be dragging a little longer February all of had the car in a year my mind is pretty made up about the manual steering box but seriously you shed some light on how I need to be more patient on this project and I'll be cruising and racing in no time if I just don't lose my enthusiasm with frustration I'm going right now to finish up my floor plan try to find a gas pedal at the junkyard and move over my brake pedal
