steering
hello, im converting my 1977 f250 with a built 460, built c6, 3.55 dana 60 rear, lightened truck, over from the stock steering, to a manual rack and pinion. i am putting a control arm setup in the front also.
Does anyone have any idea if this is
A-possible
B-affordable
C-a write up?
is this a bad idea? i can get the rack and pinion for less than 100 bucks..

rock and peanut steering is really light duty unless you use a rack from a later model ram?f150?
even then its iffie with the tre sizes and overall size.
maybe if you downgrade to a windsor with alum heads and a lighter trans you can get away with it.
even with extensive lightning your still a portly 4000lbs a bit much for a mustang rack(i assume your planning on using) and if your alignment and scrub is not spot on its going to be working really hard
failure is not an option when working with steering and suspension
