youngguns: do a search on the steering. I know there have been several threads about this. One simply made a plate and moved the steering box over I think about one or one and half inches and said he noticed no difference in the position of the steering wheel ect.
Another thread spoke about using a steering sector off a toyota 4x4. There is plenty on this subject as well as getting headers that will work and miss the steering box. Do a lot of reading/reseach before cutting.
