[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 16547853, member: 70025"] Okay everyone, Made a little bit of progress over the Christmas weekend. I managed to get my Rack and Pinion mocked up. Everything fit perfect. Only one issue. I installed a Borgeson steering system in the car last go around. It required me to use a shorter steering shaft. So, now my double D steering shaft is too short for this set up. Also, being that my steering shaft/column is shorter I'm not sure a straight shaft will clear the header. So, I may need to install another joint to make it work. I'll need to have some P/S hoses made, but the good thing is the rack is standard -6AN fittings. Also this rack is great. It's 2 and a 1/4 turn lock to lock. [ATTACH=full]1679939[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1679940[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1679942[/ATTACH] Everything lines up and clears. Per MTF I purchased this oil pan from Canton to fit a 351W. It's tight, but clears. [ATTACH=full]1679943[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1679944[/ATTACH] Here you can see the shaft is short by a couple inches. I already have new stuff on the way. [ATTACH=full]1679945[/ATTACH] Tie rod ends fit great. Per MTF I had to cut the rack ends by 1 inch on both sides.
