I could grind some around the housing but the threaded adjuster with the jam nut hits also. Might talk to firm feel about a j body box also I already have a rebuilt ff box from steer &gear but if the later style box is smaller around the sector dome I guess i'll have to buy one. p.s. # 2 tube hits the idler arm also I think the pitman will clear but it's close. Thanks for the info I'm going to stay patient and make this happen without if I can.
If I can find a pic of the J body box, I'll post it.

I have played with shimming the steering box itself rearward. Take a U shaped shim ( body/front end shops have them or you might try the "HELP" section at Advance Auto) , loosen the bolts holding the box to the frame and slide a shim down over each bolt. Easy way to pick up a 1/16"- 1/8" ( + or -). I even played with shimming just the bolt closest to the header. I did not notice any ill effects. If you loosen the driver side motor mount ( the LONG bolt) and lift the motor by putting a block on the oil pan, you can slide a 1/16" piece of sheet metal between the frame mount and the motor mount. this will lift the header tube up slightly. These tricks may add up to what you need.
