      It is...because it's frozen. Hey, you wanted to bring up what was underneath the kilt...

            • There are many smaller power steering pumps out there with remote reservoirs.

              • given the picture, I'd bet the location is more then issue then anything else - about the only spot it seems to have room is on the passenger-side above the frame...

                • The initial problem I see is that the stock SB power steering pump is going to sit right where a stock-location oil filter will sit. What I'm wondering is if only the oil filter itself is a problem, and it can be cured with a remote filter, or if the oil pump assembly is going to be in the way as well, which means steering box swap.

                            • The big-block 727 that I bought with the 400 is gone, traded out for a set of log-type small block manifolds from the early 1970s. Now, to get rid of the 400 itself. Which means driving up to Louisville to actually get the 400. Wonder what it's worth in scrap value...or maybe I should turn that lump into a planter of some kind.

                                Coffee table. All you need are few brackets front and rear and an appropriately-sized sheet of Lexan. I'd like to take credit for it but a buddy came up with that years ago.
