length for your installation. The new shaft assembly has a 3/4” DD end that will need to fit into the steering column universal

ROUTING THE STEERING SHAFT:

Routing the steering driveshaft may seem simple, but care should be taken as to the actual routing.
On some Jeep installations, it may be necessary to go directly through the motor mount. Routes may
be adjusted by changing the angle of the steering box slightly, or by extending the universal yoke from
the column bushing with a spacer. Before any final route is decided, be sure to allow for suspension
travel and engine movement. On some conversions, a third universal yoke might be considered along
with a bearing pillow block.

Manifold clearance on Jeeps with a stock 225 V6. The steering shaft can have some exhaust clearance
issues on some Jeeps. One that was brought to our attention is the Jeep 225 V6 with a Sawinaw steering
swap. The steering shaft hits the stock manifold, two options for clearance would be switch to exhaust
headers for the Jeep or switch to a Buick 231 1975 and newer rear wheel drive vehicle manifold.
