Right on the money Bill. Take the headds off an early HEMI and you have a small block. You do need to the exhaust manifolds/headers when building your steering though.

You know Mike I remember when you mentioned that to me a few months back but I thought you were referring to the Dodge, Desoto Hemi's {271's ? etc.}. BUT my 392 is actually a small block??? Wow! I had no idea! Yes, I called Hot Heads about my headers but they won't have any in for 3 weeks. I'll post a pic of what they look like, I don't see them as getting in the way of the steering at all. I'm going with the ones pictured in pic I & II {may be the fire coming out of the headers in pic #II influenced me??? ..... Thanks Bill
