There was some discussion on AS.com about doing a rack/pinion swap, but since it's down..... Check with Rebel, I think he was gathering parts to do the swap on his van.

If the rebel can instal a corvette independent rear-end in his van, then a rack and pinion should be a piece of cake. Before you start look at it and see whats going to be involved. Most times it's MONEY.

Smiliesafari DID the swap. And I must say it was easy and inexpensive. I'm going to do another one soon and I will post a picture tutorial.

Slowmover...Don't try the Camaro rack. There's not enough rack travel. BTDT.
Larry...The Smilievan is going to get a Mustang rack. My son (Wally) has to tell me how great his works every time he see's me. The Mustang rack has a whole turn less at the steering wheel than the Explorer/Mountaineer rack I used in my van. Stay tuned.
