I think Bondo Bob has a set up for that type of application

also please don't forget SB412DUSTER(laverne) he has been running for quite some time pretty fast with a rack and pinion on a stock k member...

Jim ,I did it! But the Kmember is no longer stock. In the Stock Kmember you cant get the rack back far enough for the geometry to work well.

---

sorry but i beg to differ. zero bumpsteer & very positive steering on my junk. only drawback is you need to make a custom oil pan but that just meant i could improve on a stock std unit.

the original rack install was done by a pro who raced an A body in curcuit racing & he was in the top of his field. i just had too much time on my hands one day & made the hole bigger, but that meant i could build a bigger pan but not so deep.

with this pan i made i have zero oil problems. i have my oil warning light set on 30psi & it never comes on during a run.

what does his system consist of and how much does it cost ?





am i the only one looking for this info, there has to be someone with experience on this ?

---

I dont recall what Bobs system costs, I think $1500 or so. I know he has it worked out pretty well though. With Alot of Work!!

But since you stated you dont have the bucs $$$.!

Even on the Cheap!,

Slapping a front steer Rack and Pinion in a stock K Frame is going to run you about $450 bucs with everythings thats needed.

Thats just for starters, Now you have to learn how to make it work.

That will include more Labor and more $$$ and if your as Dumb as me a few more Years mike

My dad built a rack&pinion into his 68 Valiant with a stock K-member. Front steer, the rack is tucked up into the K-member a bit.

---

Your Dad knew what he was Doing!

With a Front steer the Rack has to be that far back As pictured to work right. A stock oil pan wont allow that.

So theres another mod that needs to be done $$$. It really cant be done properly on the Cheap $$$, More like $$$$.

Unless you can Fab all that stuff yourself, and dont count your own labor , then it will cost you only $500 bucs or so. mike
