56 Chevy (RIP)

[Snake72]

Acquired an '89 vette front end this weekend, 70k mile car that had a mild engine fire, everything is super tight and clean. I already removed the control arms, spindles, brakes, rack and pinion etc and will be cleaning them up. So far I've been impressed with the quality and condition of all the vette components especially being 35+ years old. The only real concern I have is fitting the LS motor over the rack and pinion which apparently can be a real bear with the Flat Out Engineering set up. Sounds like I'll have to "clock" the rack and pinion 90 degrees to get the pressure lines coming out to the front instead of above the cylinder for oil pain clearance. I've seen other builds that required moving the engine way back in the bay and cutting into the firewall to get clearance. Also I have read that the stock front sway bar wont work, but I'm determined to get installed somehow.
