Is there a difference in the LT1 and LS1 steering knuckles?

Doing a turbo build with a 6.0 into an LT1 car, driver side manifold (pass manifold flipped forward) hits the knuckle. Or maybe theres a difference between the steering racks or soemthing that positions it different? Anybody have any ideas?

Yes the rack between a LT1 and LS1 car are different. The angle is not the same and they utilize different shafts. When converting everyone I have seen gets a LS1 rack along with a steering shaft.

car has a madman manual rack, says its the same for 93-02 cars. I guess I will try to find an ls1 knuckle to use, if that doesnt work I guess we are building a set of ehadesr sooner than we thought.

I see. Not sure about the manual racks but the power steering cars are different for sure. Good luck.

Give us a call monday. The steering shaft is different on a LS1 car.

so would the actual rack be the same, just need the different shaft?

If so, would a stock LS1 shaft work? I can get my hand on one of those pretty quick if thats all it is.

The rack is the same. The column location and steering shaft are different. A stock shaft WILL NOT work.
