I have a steel driveshaft for a 727 to 8 3/4 if you have a need, worked fine in my rb duster. Slant 6 torsion bars worked fine for me too. Have some SS springs too, I switched to mono leafs. Let me know if you are interested in the items listed above.

Acording to TTI yes.

You also have the option of electric power assist under your dash. Check out this thread.I was wrong about what I said in regards to the TTI's and Power Steering. I had a conversation with TTI Wednesday and they said out of the box no. I also asked about the Borgensen box and that have not tried it to see if if would clear. I then called Borgensen and their primary goal was steering improvement so they themselves had no data relevant to TTI's fitting.
The tech at TTI said they do have a customer who made them fit with Power Steering and spaced the boxed out and dented one of the tubes. So if you want the additional power of full length headers then they can probably be made to work....

367 vs 383
4.04X3.58 vs 4.25X3.375
Drop-in vs tear your hair out.
Headers fit, mostly, vs good luck
Power brakes work with 292* or smaller cam, vs hydro boost
Drive it later this week vs maybe someday
Looking back on what I have done this project has probably been on my bucket list and thanks to another member on here a gun went off in my head and here we are. What I have is an original 72 H Code car that is pretty close to original. That's about to change. I have a RB that has been sitting on the stand for about 20 years and it's time to put it to work. I am sure somewhere in the archives there is a great thread about what I need to accomplish the conversion to a big block but have had no success in locating it. So is there a good thread about what I need in the way of parts and mods to make it happen?
What I have is a Complete Long Block, 2" TTI's, and a BB Transmission (727.) The car has Power Steering and will retain that. I have Hydroboost on the brakes and that is fab work plain and simple make room the motor. Any info is appreciated and if this question is like a broken record and someone can provide a link so I can get a good list going for myself that would be great.
Thanks,

I took her virginity when I upgraded the brakes lol.... How did the Lokar stuff work out? Did you get kick down and throttle cable?
As for the intent of the car, street driving and some laps at the dragstrip. My dad is excited about doing this with me as he has never driven an A Body with a Big Block. It appears as though the Heads on the motor are not optimum based off of a members feedback ( god I like his honesty lol) so it is what it is for now. The bottom line is I got bored with the direction of the car and made a change lol....

The only other thing I see currently getting in my way is the Heater motor. I see that there is a shorter version. Is this the most logical route short of removing the motor (which is not an option?) Since I am running a solid camshaft for a while getting the valvecovers off will be neccessary....
Thoughts?
