What is that kit designed for? Unless your changing the front suspension those steering arms shown wouldn't work. You may be able to use the Stude suspension in a front steer setup by switching the knuckles from one side to another. I've never tried it but it may work.59 Lark wagon, now V-8, H.D. auto!

Looks like you have a '69 or earlier Camaro or a '74 or earlier Nova front suspension. Is that what the front steer steering components designed for?
Y'all are gonna have a hell-of-a nice hot rod there. Can't wait to see the finished product. Can I ride in it?

Weird since the 1968-74 Nova and relatives had a rear steer design from GM. All Chevelles, etc. were front steer.--------------------------------------
Sold my 1962; Studeless at the moment
Borrowed Bams50's sigline here:
"Do they all not, by mere virtue of having survived as relics of a bygone era, amass a level of respect perhaps not accorded to them when they were new?"

Yes this kit changes the rear steer box to a rack front steer to give us more room for the big block and headers.
