1955 Pontiac LS upgrade
 

New project showed up for Modernization...…. Judy and Jeff's 1955 Pontiac Station Wagon.... A little background on the car....The car was purchased some years ago with a small block Chevy engine and trans for power...…. However it did not have A/C or power steering and since this is Judy's car it was a handful for her to drive...… and since they want to travel the country and enjoy Life...…. Well …… We are going to fix that...…They already added Disc Brakes and a 9" ford rear end...….. We will be adding a GM Connect and Cruise LS3 480hp/ 4L70E engine and trans assy along with Power Steering, new tilt column, A/C and rewiring the car and some interior sheet metal repairs...…..And whatever else pops up along the way....Anyhow here are some pic's to start the build thread....

So…… The first thing that needed to be fixed was to install the new power steering box…….The new box will need the mounting holes modified in the frame for mounting the modern box conversion……… And as Luck would have it the Stock Pitman Arm spline was different from the first box we tried……… Gonna use a GM 605 box next as in a previous swap thread by others it was noted that the Spline in the 605 box is the same as the stock Pitman arm……. Thought we would try with a better box than the 605 but that didn’t work out too well…. Won’t be the last time things didn’t go according to plan…..
