the car is a fox body with a 351w, C4 auto trans. I am putting in Mac longtube headers (MAC TF3510), just wondering if i need a aftermarket steering shaft to fit them in? I read a thread on a different site that says you do in order for them to fit.

thanks.

 

bump..

 

Mine fit with the stock shaft. Rubs a lil under hard acceleration. But not bad.

 

You have the same mac longtubes right? Thanks, I'll give it a try and see if it works for me.

 

I have macs. Notsure wich ones i bought them used.

 

I've got mac 1 3/4 long tubes, i dont remember the part number. I have stock shaft but did have to run the steering shaft through the headers. I have zero rub under hard acceleration or anytime.

 

It may not rub, but it will COOK that little polly disc in the steering shaft, and its a total b***h to change once the headers are bolted up. I would reccomend just getting the new shaft and getting it over with while its easy

 

exactly what I just did.

 

What does a new shaft cost?

 

I have hooker long tubes and I have had no problem with the steering shaft or the rag joint
