Which aftermarket front frames are available for manual steering? Are they all, or none?
With all the turbo plumbing I have no room for power accessories, like steering. What are my options for front frames?
While I'm at it, how about some quicker-ratio manual steering boxes? Where to find?

Any reason you don't go to a manual rack on the new front end? My Wayne Due with motor plate has a ton of room for my piping for the PT91.

I have the Alston front subframe with their manual rack. They now have a power rack available too.

Here is a place that offers quick-ratio manual steering boxes:

I don't have any experience with them personally, came up in a search I was doing.

My car (68 Bird) utilizes a Martz subframe with a Flaming River manual steering system.

Classic Performance Products (http://www.classicperform.com/) sells a remote PS pump (http://www.classicperform.com/Store/1947_59_Trucks/PSPE.htm). Not sure who makes it or where to get it cheaper, but is a good idea if the only reason you don't want PS is accessory drive clearance.

Cool, gracias. I guess most are available for manual steering, I just hadn't called anyone.
Besides the pump/drive clearance, there's no way a larger/power box would clear my downpipes on the stock frame, either
