Cobra Buildup, Part 1
|
The Mustang steering rack bolts on to brackets on the front crossmember. Factory Five prefers the 15:1-ratio Mustang rack (some early Fox-based cars used an 18:1), which the company converts to manual duty by removing the tubes and lines for the power assist. These Ford units don't rely on power-steering fluid for lubrication, which allows them to be utilized manually. If power steering is desired, you will need the power-steering bracket from a non-A/C 5.0 motor. Nonair-conditioned cars locate the pump higher, and this allows the pump to clear the steering shaft.
