Got a problem that I want to spend the money only once to fix. I have a 1952 Chevy 1/2 ton pickup with a 283 and a turbo 400. The engine and transmission is setting 2 1/2" towards the passenger side at an angle to provide clearance between the drivers exhaust manifold and the stock steering box. Was going to purchase a rack and pinion power setup that bolts to my straight axle. Some say this may not be a safe alternative. Trying to fix this before I drop in another low mileage 283. I also have a positive pinion angle that I need to replace the spring perches to obtain a straight to slight negative pinion angle. Got a mess here and will clean it up one step at a time. Any ideas or suggestions for clearance between the manifold and steering box? Thanks HUGH
