1950 Column Shift Linkage to 4L60E (with under floor booster)

Have you test fitted your left header yet? I needed 3 joints to get linkage to clear and I see you got a direct shot to the steering box. The ididit shift cable is pretty slick you might want to install the header, then steering linkage then shifter.

I still have not decided on headers or Corvette manifolds so no test fit yet. I may have to add a 3rd joint and have all of the parts but am holding out until I figure out what I am using.

I have two friends that just got block hugger center and rear drop headers, hoping they will loan them to me to see if they fit.

OK, you all had me wondering so I went down to the shop and installed a set of old manifolds I had from an old Firebird. The passenger would work but the drivers is not quite a rear dump so I have an issue but it is so close.

If I could find something tight with a rear dump I think I could clear the steering without adding 3rd joint. These look to be steel so I might be able to do some modifications to the drivers side also.




When I bought the project the last owner has a 350 with these headers mocked up and they cleared a single steering shaft.

In late but for my th350 and column shift I used B&M racing cable and bracket, cost about half of the Ididit and similar units.
