When I do the big block car I am wondering if I should just go with a manual Rack in it?

I'm not sure if I'll be able to do what I want witht he front of the motor to make it serpentine immediately, So I thought about just eliminating the power steering and going that route... so what type of cheap racks are there out there?

I'd like something with a decently quick ratio for easy steering with a 650lb. engine in the front! :lol:

Flaming River has a kit, complete with rack, tie rod ends, bushings and steering shaft.

Half way decent price too. And are available, in quick ratio.
