    400 SBC Build

    I appreciate the input....new guys don't really know much about 400 engines and their quirks. I've studied them but am still not the expert other than what I've stated. I appreciate the hands on experience.

    400 SBC Build

    How to achieve tighter steering?

    I have the frame support welded on but will be adding this as well. It uses torsion across the mid cross member for support instead of relying on just frame stiffness: https://www.offroaddesign.com/bolt-in-steering-box-brace-for-67-72-gm-4wd-trucks.html Look at the following: Rag Joint Frame...

If Matts advice doesn't pan out I feel GMT830 could be right. The gear inside is shot and will need to be...
