Thread: 302 to 351 mod in a '31 Model A?

OK - I'm going for the 351W. Now the question I have, as I know my issue is going to be around the steering shaft between where the steering column that comes out of the body (near the firewall) to the steering box, where do I go for parts. I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to somehow get the part that comes directly from the steering wheel to be longer, so the piece that goes bewtween this piece and the steering box essentially moves lower and therefore more parrallel with the frame - thereby getting past the headers. Right now that section crosses diagonally right through the ares where eh exhaust manifold comes off. Where do you go for these types of part?
