52 engine swap

[truog52]

I have a 1952 3100, it had a 235 when I first got it but I decided to drop in a 350 with a th350. I bought a engine and tranny cross member mounting kit. Everything went well except for one thing. I’m trying to stay with the original steering column but the block sits about an inch from the steering gear box. There is no room for my headers. I have seen guys drop a 350 in these trucks, but I have never paid attention to what they did with the gear box. Does anyone know what my options are?? If anyone wants the 235 I’ll give it away cheap.
