Power Steering Rack for 3rd gen Nova/1st Gen Camaro
Does anybody know of a good donor for a power steering rack for a 3rd gen Nova/1st Gen Camaro?
I have relocated the engine up and back and therefore have lots of room for a rack. I am looking for a rear-steer rack with the right width that I can adapt. I am not looking for a bolt-in kit. I will need to locate the rack higher than most kits because I have raised the pivots of the lower control arms in the crossmember.Bill Harvey

Why not simply have Lee Performance build you a stock style box rather than do lots of major reconstruction. Just asking? They have probably the best feeling/handling box around.

I like the tighter feeling and light weight of a rack. Since I relocated the engine, I have more room than I know what to do with.

Similiar situation in my 68 camaro vert except I could use a stock type install-I'm hunting to see the best steering because the motor support will sling across
where the box and idler arm were and no problem installing a Unisteer or flameriver unit but hear too many negatives using a RP in a stock frame. As one tech put it there is 'compression'
on the linkage in a rear steer but only tension on a front steer. My LS1 out of 04 GTO can keep the front oil pan, alternator and all accessories since the motor/trans sits about 8"
rearward if I can setup front steering.
