Thread: Project: 27 T bucket

here some some mock up pics. as it sits now. how much room do I need from the oil pan to the ground? the 9'' rear has 18 splined axles that dont fit right and I dont have a 3rd member. as you can see the dissy is hitting the fire wall and the radiator is resting on the water pump. the 4.3 v6 is about 3-4'' shorter, so it should just fit. I might need to find two small 6-8'' electric fans to sit next to the water pump on each side. I also got a pic of the fj55 steering box, but I dont know how it would work. there is not much room there in front of the fire wall to set a steering box. and still get the column shaft to come out the fire wall. does anyone have any pictures of steering setups on T's? the grill that came with it is a homemade set up it looks like. made out of 1/4'' steel, but it looks nice and is sturdy.

Not to self promote a thread I did, you might want to take a look at this:

You are going to have to sift through a lot of BS and pets, but there might be some helpful info in there for you. I warn you now, it is loooooooooong, like 200+ pages and stretched out over a year and a half, so get a pot of coffee and prop your feet up. It is about a 23 I built from scratch and is very similar to what you are doing.
