Yours looks like a pinched frame?...on an unpinched 32 frame, a F100 box will clear on an early Olds with same starter issue, where a F1 box will not clear. also, I think a mini starter is available for Buicks? if you paint it black no one will notice or...care, except maybe you. Hamtown Al has a Buick going into a 32 with pics, stock steering box though, https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum...ning-with-425-gs-buick-engine.1105066/page-11 One question, is your motor too high? Hard to tell by that pic, and I don't know if it would help if it was lower.
I will look at that link i dont think the engine is sitting to high but it isn't mounted yet Sent from my SM-G950W using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
I don't know what era you are going for but Gary Heliker had U-joint steering in the early 60's The car was in Hot Rod and Rod and Custom in 1962
Take a look at Tom T’s build thread. 32 five window with a nailhead. https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/just-another-5-window-build-thread.983419/
I have barely pinched 32 frame. Set up by Cornhusker (Krylon32). Some pics on my build thread. Don’t know how many more Cornhusker will build, but I think he’s still at it, experienced, & would likely answer your questions. Buick 401. ST400 original tranny. Vega Box. Original Firewall.Not set back or cut, very slight indent to get the original distributor to clear. 4” drop axle. I think 2 joints in steering shaft. Cut off 41 ford shaft with keyed original from firewall up to wheel. Centerville Buick(Russell&Matt Martin sell) & it’s tight, but Geardrive Lake headers free up a lot of room.

Closeups of steering maybe in my build thread? Long time ago, not on this phone. Nailhead powered model a coupe on 32 rails https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/index.php?posts/10615430/ Sent from my iPhone using H.A.M.B.
