Re: What length of column do i need to buy?

hey buddy.i went with a 32" ididit and wish i would of got a 30" or maybe a 28".it all depends on header clearance on the joints and where you want the wheel.you might want to mock up the motor and tranny with headers on then get the column.i used s-10 conversion headers and they worked great.good luck.are you going to run a small block?

30" sounds about right.if the headers stick way out your going to need a shorter column to go down quicker.nice motor.
