Just curious if there is anything to look for or do when swapping a v8 rack into a 4cyl. Car needs an alignment and I can get a cheap unit through work and it would help along with the swap just wanting to know anything and everything ahead of time. Would the pump and lines need to be replaced as well?


Thanks in advanced

When converting a 4 popper to v8 use all v8 lines, pump , struts spindles, brakes, fuel lines, brake lines to rear, the k member can b used v8 or 4cyl, I've just finished my 25th 4popper to v8, fun times

I think he is talking about a steering rack???????????????????????????????


That is a bolt in. I think he wants a fast rack to replace the slow one that is stock in the 4 cylinder
