Default BRP Rack & Pinion Installed!
How many of you know of 16/17 year olds that can custom install(the instructions were s**t) a rack & pinion kit. There is ZERO bind.

Pics on my website. http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/238860/7

Couple of updates.
Iv ordered my Ram VDS clutch w/ 900 disc already.
Iv ordered a T56 tranny from D&D Performace w/ upgraded internals from viper.

with the BRP rack setup, the swaybar gets relocated to the backside of the K-member (where the factory steering used to be). You just need to fabricate some step-down supports that attach to the subframe. Check out the photos on Year One's site of their '69 pacecar build up. I haven't done this yet either.
