Extra info...the front sub frame is from a 1968 camaro, so its a 68 camaro steering box...research made me believe the steering boxes were the same for camaros and firebirds...all info welcome...Id rather not run headers...but if I have to, I have not been able to find any round port shorty headers...


I think your problem started with the 68 chev frame.
Motor mounts are different and more.
