Re: Plastic Fantastic tew
You're not getting old - you're getting WISE - take it from a guy that's had rotator cuff surgery - steering big fat tires under the weight of a big block, you'll NEED power steering!
My peanut SBF over a manual rack and pinion set up with puny front tires is OK with manual - this set up, no way!
This thing is going to make miata's soil themselves when you pass them on open track days!

Re: Plastic Fantastic tew
Yeah , I'll never apologize for power steering . Anything that helps me whip the wheel , to avoid something coming at me that shouldn't be the better .Yep ……...same idea with the brakes .

Re: Plastic Fantastic tew
more incremental progress
this
is now this
more trimming in the wheel well
and now make it hold itself up
the back bolt lines up with the front edge of the bracket I made
and is 9 9/16 from the bottom of the bolt head holding the cradle in place to the center of the rear-most bolt
front, I can't remember off the top of my head but it's roughly 9 and change above the bolt head of the front bracket.... in real numbers 1 1/2 above the 2x4 I built in the front, 1" below the top of the frame on the rear... (ish).
overall width from flat of the bracket to flat is 39 3/8
front... the upper arm needs to move back about 1" in this picture
