I got around the steering box problem by moving the engine to the passenger=
side to clear the steering.I think it was moved about 1 inch just so the f=
uel pump was close to the frame. I havent run this truck yet so I hope this=
wasnt a mistake. Chrysler used to mount its slant 6 off center.BobMead, CO=
