Suspension/Steering / Manual steering rack?
The thing is, this will be a track only car, and Im going from a 2.3t/t5 combo to a V-8 with a powerglide using front and mid plates, and don't plan on running any kind of accessory drive on it. Hence the reason for converting it to a manual rack.

Secondly, while I'm here, anyone have a suggestion for a decent set of replacement struts suitable for drag racing?

Thank ya

Suspension/Steering / Manual steering rack?
Hey guys, I'm working on my 83 TC, building it into a decent bracket car. I plan to back-half it, 10 point cage etc. I have the rear of the car pretty much figured out, but where I'm having problems is with steering it. I'm not going to be running power steering, and was wondering if there was a manual rack from a different vehicle that would bolt up. I've heard that one off a 71 pinto would fit. Anyone have any suggestions for this?

You're putting the SBC in to slow it down ;).

 
:giggle: the main reason is I have NO ford parts at all. We mostly build chevy motors here, that's why I was building a Nova. But then this car came along and it meant a lot to my wife's family so I saved it from going to the s yard.

We did however poke around in the garage and found a set of tubular A-arms, coil overs and a 5 lug front set up, so this car is now going to be a full tube chassis car with a 4 link.

Here's my heap. My wife's grandpa bought this car brand new back in 83. I ended up with it a few years ago, and we've been working on turning it into a drag car. Please don't beat me with a bat, but we're transplanting a 406 sbc in it because I already have all the parts for it from when I was building a Nova. Also planning a 4 link and tubbed, and 14x32 slick. But for now, here's the current progress.
