Shortened front driveshaft 14" and modified hanger bearing mount to shift it 3/4" towards curb side.

Added 6" to curb side exhaust pipe to get catalytic converter away from transmission. Had to trim flared end of extension pipe to ensure a good seal. Modern manifold flanges are much more shallow than the old days. Wrapped the first bit of pipe as it passes within 3/4" of passenger floor.

Modern power steering pump meant for steering racks puts out too much pressure for old steering boxes. Shortened spring by 1/8" and cut pump fitting down so inverted flare adapter could use new 1979 style pressure hose.
