I am considering converting to manual steering in my '57 T-Bird when I put a VR57 supercharged engine in it.   I want to use the crank pulley grooves to turn the blower.

I noticed the T-bird engine sits back in the chassis further than in a passenger car, so there should not be as much weight on the front tires as on the full size Fords.

It currently has a Cavalier Rack on it with a 460 big block and it drives good, but it is a power unit, and will not look very original when I put a correct looking F-code motor in it.

I drive it every weekend, so it needs to be fairly comfortable.

Thanks for the opinions.
