Applications/Provisions
This kit is designed specifically for 1955- 57 “Tri-Five” Chevy cars with SMALL BLOCK CHEVY
motors and side-mount motor mounts. Certain headers may be used with this kit to build the
steering linkage with just two u-joints and a section of shaft. We found one header that works well
with t
his kit. We sell a coated “shortie” style header from Sanderson (shown below) that works
great. You can order these from us under part #8021830 for $445.00.
It is not mandatory that this specific brand be used, but we have used them and we know they
work. Headers with a similar shape may work. If you do not wish to change your headers, you
should be able to use a series of U-joints and a support bearing, to attach the column and rack &
pinion.
If you are using a big block motor, past customers have used a combination of single and double
U-Joints to get the linkage to the column. You can also visit
www.555657.net or call Tri-5 R&D at
253-278-7475 for information on their header options that must be used in conjunction with the
TCI side motor mounts.
