      Thanks for the information guys! And thanks for the email Frank.

      As Frank pointed out, I am in a unique situation that I should probably clarify. My car is pretty far along and has all aftermarket suspension (GW upper and lowers, QA1 coil overs, and a TKO600). After getting the motor set in place and not being able to get it aligned properly, I took measurements and realized that my subframe is tweaked about 3/4" down and to the left on the left side. The subframe is one of the FEW pieces on my car that is original and it is fairly pitted in areas.

      I was pretty bummed about it, but rack and pinion was one of the things I wanted, so I am looking at this as an opportunity (said in a totally insane, addicted to my build, sorta way).

      The Speedtech subframe gives me the ability to transfer all my aftermarket suspension components and the TKO600 while giving me the ability to use a rack with my stock spindles. So it seems like a pretty good fit for my needs.

      I did speak with Roger at Speedtech today and he was very helpful. The only issue is that I MAY have to locate my engine mounts as they have not installed a Pontiac block on their subframe yet.

      I haven't made a final decision yet but I am leaning towards Speedtech. One thing that is costly is shipping: $200 crate fee + $285 if shipped to a dock or $435 if shipped to a residence (ouch).

      Phil
