You\u2019ve got to work around things like firewalls, headers and chassis rails, resulting in weird steering angles with multiple U-joints and support bearings.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A lot of readers doing LS engine swaps in cars with tight firewall clearance know what that\u2019s like.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Flaming River VDOG steering box eliminates a lot of those hassles. The gear-driven box has 3\/4-36 splined output shafts that sit 90 degrees to each other, providing maximum clearance in spaces where more traditional U-joint angles won\u2019t work.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What\u2019s more, the output shaft to your steering box or rack and pinion ride in an articulating ball &#8211; you can set the shaft at any angle up to 35\u00b0 to clear whatever\u2019s in the way.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Flaming River VDOG steering box can be mounted vertically or horizontally and is set at a 1:1 ratio so it won\u2019t affect your steering ratio. The cast aluminium box is available with a natural, black, or blue powdercoated finish, or you can get fancy and get one in billet aluminium.
