i bought mine from S&S headers. they sent them bare metal and i modified one a little and sent them back for powder coating then they sent them back to me. wasnt cheap. yeah that damn steering box is a real nightmare.

 

Thanks for your input. Would you happen to have some close up pictures of how yours turned out?

 

I have been looking at post for clearance problem with volare and big block motors I had thought about going rack n pinion found a company that makes a kit although it runs 600.00 but when you look at cost of custom headers it may be worth it I will probably get a rack and make my own kit Maybe this will help some of you guys, so far I haven't seen it mentioned ( just a thought Mike

 

want to share the company info on the rack?

This is not a picture of an install using a volare clip or any other IFS. That's a Toyota PS box conversion, so it must be a beam axle.

 

Unless you know a LOT about steering geometry, do yourself a favor and buy the conversion kit rather than attempting to make your own R&P steering setup. Doing it wrong (easily messed up) can make for some wacky and possibly dangerous steering. There is a lot of engineering that needs to go into it.

 

I worked 20 yrs on stock cars that ran 120+ on 1/2 to 1 1/2 mile tracks,I don't think I'll have a problem with my little f100 but thanks for your concern for my safety as well as others Mike

 

COOL! Then you understand my concern Mike. Do impart your expertise here, we can use it!

 

Sam,this is the only company making these as far as I know, But I still hate to share valueable info that I may be able to make a Buck off since I can't figure a way to do that I will take a bullet for the FTE guys (Weedetr Street Rod Componants )they have a web site let me know how it turned out, MIke

 

good thread guys, by the way, Sam, what did the HPC cost? I just finished headers for my 56 and am ready to have that done before it all goes back together. Thanks

 

Make sure that whoever does them does the insides as well. Headers and exhaust systems corrode from the inside out.

 

got a price of $340.00 inside and out, good point though
