Or the transverse..... if the transverse the Hooker Competition headers (Not Supercomps) fit with a little bit of work on my old RB Mirada. Definitely would have been easier if we swapped to manual steering like we eventually did (power box wasn’t hooked up anyways).

TOTAL pain in the but but he has slowly gotten the bugs out of it. I did not even know they made them for the later model stuff. Todd www.mopartsracing.com

Will convert to manual steering and would like to know which ateering box J-body used, and which steering arm?I have an old B- body steering box, but it's a small sector unit and I believe the original Cordoba unit is a large sector?

Also rid of the K isolators and used box steel inserts of the same size. If I’d a kept the Mirada it would have had a tube K coil overs and rack steering by now..... oh what could have been
