So it appears I will need to lift the engine, any ideas on how to do that because the car is all restored and finished.
I was hoping someone would tell me the Borgeson unit would fit as its is a lot smaller than the stock unit.
As far as the steering column, i know its about 3" too long, so the best way is what change out the shaft with a power one and reuce the column?

Would the manual steering gear box out without the need to lift to engine? Another option is just to rebuild that box
