Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

lol. I know man, thats first on my list. I was talking more like rack and pinions, or manual, etc. I don't know a whole lot about steering sytems, just wondering what the options were with a dropmember.

Re: Dropmembered trucks

The rack we run is a 79-93 mustang. The rack bushings and tie rod ends come standard with the dropmember.

The rack can be purchased in either power or manual configurations. I prefer power.

Re: Dropmembered trucks

Well, I thought this might be a good option........

http://www.flamingriver.com/index.ph...steer/FR40004S

but after looking at it, I realized you could buy 9 at O'Rielly for the price of this one.

It's nice though..........
