Think I was reading that Flaming River(think that is the name?)
Does a kit with in box power, rag joint and will make you the custom length shaft.
Would make a nice clean install. Think Johno has this in his 65.

I'd rather do it myself if it's done right or not,,,isn't that what hotrodding is all about

Mine is from borgeson. now they have a 14:1 box which would be even better than the 16:1 that I got. with some fabrication I was able to use my factory column but it's easier with an aftermarket column. they do have a kit, made for a mustang but with modifications will work on comets/falcons. A rag joint will need more fab work to build a cover for it, since it lands dead in the firewall. but some have just used a coupling that will fit inside the column tube, & at least one guy that I know of has kept his column shift (auto) with some mods.
you can build an electric PS from junkyard parts if you feel comfortable cutting & welding on steering shafts. but it can be done for under 100 bucks. Fred (SASSY) can tell you all about that if your interested,he did his.
