Hello from France
Hello alls
I'm Laurent from France, Toulouse exactly
I love american cars since a long time, i buy my first corvette (a 76) at 23 years old and i put few hight perf parts on it (vbp suspension, 383 engine, steeroids rack and pignion ....)
Today i have a very good camaro 350 SS 1967 in original condition and i haved buy another camaro 1967 (original 396 SS) and i wan't to make a little pro-touring project on it.
I think to go with a ridetech complete coilover system (or air suspension ?), wilwood brakes, Unisteer rack and pignions ( or another ?)
For the engine i haved find a 396 1967 block and i think put lots of power in it .
in fact i have lots of question before start my project !!!!
Thanks for all
Laurent

Welcome Laurent. You have some nice cars. If you insist on a rack and pinion steering system for your next project, I would suggest going to a new from subframe from Art Morrison, SpeedTech, or Detroit Speed, which have been engineered to work properly. Add on systems which may function may not give you the feel your looking for in a 50 year old car. It may seem that the cost is excessive for a front frame replacement, but in the long run, you will find the end costs similar but the results will be better.

You won't get Corvette feel from a added on Rack system, not even close. May be better than stock, but not much, and the ones I have seen start at $1000.
