Its been a long long time since I've been on here when i was going to start my project but things happened and problems arose and i never got time to start my project but now I've started!
I've blown off the dust, got the 1256 out and offered up the Essex.
on first glance its looking good, bulkhead and gearbox tunnel look like they will be spared the grinder treatment but the big problem I've run into is the steering column.
the block is very very close and i think if i don't do anything about it there's a change of the column joint getting caught in the engine.
can anyone tell me whether or not a magnum front cross member has a different steering column position? i have a feeling there's something different but not a 100%
also has anyone on here done this conversion before who might be able to answer some questions or has anyone taken and pictures they've seen at shows i may be able to use as a reference?
Thanks for the help in advance!
Marc
