    Should be plenty available since everyone else gets rid of them!
    That should tell you something.

    They arent much better than an Amodel box, maybe a little better... 25% maybe?. The probelm is steering shaft clearance past the flatty Cyl head...especially with thick aftermarket heads.you CAN do it..but dont expect light, modern steering and youll be fine. Id run one. im hardcore but..

    nxcess....I already have one in my parts pile. I don't have an F1/100 box.
    I also have a Vega box but that's to new for this build.

    lowsquire....I'm running 221 Ford iron heads if that helps.

    I guess I can mock it up and see. Thanks.
