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

    Maybe a updated 70s F/C chassis 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 pass expo rules but in talking to "Big Mikey" before he passed he stated if it wasn't for the accuracy of the resto , a newer style chassis 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.
