For a mountain boy,he's a relatively fast learner,Bob..I noticed,that he didnt get any sawdust in the keyboard when he ''logged''on yesterday. and by the time we had driven back home(near enough to an hour),he had gone back in,and written between the pix,,so I would say that Lynda's instructions were good,,and she sent him a loooooooong e mail last night on the ''doings''of it all..Stand by,,she has created a monster..

Well Lynda's not here today, but she did send me a page full of instructions last night as to what I should do, so I had a go.
Here's the result:

Hopefully it's a shot of the front of the bus with the original 454 in it, showing the two steering boxes and the flat-head Ford engine mounts I dug out as body mounts for the front clip to sit on.
(Hopefully!)




Whew!
(Big sigh of relief!)
That took me about two hours and left me all shaky!
The idea behind retaining the original steering box was Willie Roach's, two boxes interconnected increases the amount of oil flow at any one time; so if you're reversing at an idle there's still plenty of flow and you've got fingertip steering.
