    Does anyone happen to know what style ch***is a center-steer Coupe like the 334 below uses? Is it just a modified altered ch***is? Thanks in advance for the help!

    Maybe a updated 70s F/C ch***is or a copy of such, when shorter w/b and straight axles were the norm.

    From memory the original Mooneyham -Sharp 554 used stock style framerails with the engine setback at about 25% . Center steered with a "cage" . The 15 OZ coupe has the basic setup although newer in construcion to p*** expo rules but in talking to "Big Mikey" before he p***ed he stated if it wasn't for the accuracy of the resto , a newer style ch***is would have easier.These cars were built to run the lakes but did double duty at the drags.

    should be a steering box similar to the one on this website:

    these boxes usually have damn near a 1:1 ratio.
