Hi I have a 67 chevelle that needs a new steering box and tie rods so I thought that if some one out there has done this convertion? you could help me out with what parts I'll need?
Thanks

Alot of work for little pay off. The only place would be on a Drag car and then the bump steer would be a big issue. It would have to be done with time and patients, I wouldn't go thought all the work, just put in a manual box if your going for weight. Beside tierods are way cheaper to replace than to modify the car to a rack and pinion.

If I had the cash for it, I'd put in a rack and pinion in a heartbeat. graemlins/hurray.gif
