I just spoke with Bill Turner from Turner enterprises in California. He has suggested that I go with a rack and pinion setup for my steering. I currently have his front lowered crossmember, upper and lower tubular a arms and rear triangulated 4 link as well as his tranny crossmember. I will be running a Moroso electric water pump and I want to keep the engine front as CLEAN as possible. I am planing to go with a manual rack and pinion for ease of install and mainly the clean factor. This will eliminate the need for a center link idler arm etc etc. Also no pump on the frame. Does anyone see any reason why this should not be done??? Bill is going to set this up for me for free also. All I pay for is parts.
I'm interested in the triangulated 4 link. Got a number or website?
Even using a power rack you get to eliminate the gear box, all tie rods (including idler and pitman arm), etc. On my Fatman crossmember it mounts with two bolts to the front of the crossmember. Just need to get lines made for going from the metric LS1 pump to the rack which is a Pinto unit I think.
