Lots to read here below. https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/cowl-steering-just-stop.1101046/ .
Yep, the link F&J posted is a good one. Before you read it, read this one: https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/the-h-a-m-b-rules-guidelines.44274/ And think about turning off your CAPS LOCK! I assume you know what all upper case means in internet-speak.
I bought a setup from Gas Alley Street Rods in Shawnee, KS that adapts a reversed Corvair box to cowl steer. The install went very well, the pitman arm was a little crappy so we adapted a Ford p/u arm. This was not expensive. Have not driven yet, I admit, but have driven cowl setups and yes you get some bump steer, but yes it looks cool......it is your ride, do what you want. It sure looks better than all that bullshit U-Joint setup everybody else runs.
