Since I get lots of e-mail about my modifications, obviously, there are a lot of people out there trying different things. I don't like to badmouth another person's idea, but there have been a lot of questions asked about what to do to get clearance between the oilpan of a Chevy motor, and the tierods. Morosso makes an oilpan, that comes back 12 inches, then drops straight down. It seems the easy "fix", that everyone wants to do is heat the centerpoint steerarm, and bend it down. Yes, it IS an easy fix, but you need to be aware, that not only have you thrown the geometry of the steering off,and will have to re-align the frontend, and softened the metal when you heated it,but you have created a "SAFETY HAZZARD"! By doing this, you now put the centerpoint steerarm, and it's attached tie-rods, just inches from the ground. I know, I know, it's your car, and you'll do what you want, but attached is a picture of this having been done. I'm just saying,"I wouldn't want MY family riding around in a car with this done. In fact, my family DID ride around in this car, TILL I SAW THIS! I'm probably one of the biggest supporters of "modifying", on this Forum, but all I'm saying is, at least make it a "SAFE" change!
