This is a rear steer center take-off style rack and pinion with a ball center bar that exactly matches the center link of the stock suspension for the '57-'59 Fords. The rack & pinion comes mounted to a one piece mounting bracket that bolts up to the frame using the same holes that held the steering box and idler arm.
This kit is designed for use with Traditional FE Block Motors found with these cars, the Ford 332 and 352. This kit has been installed on vehicles with stock manifolds. Other Headers may work, but might require modification or another u-joint in the column linkage.
Note: This kit will not work with the factory column shifter, but it will work with an aftermarket column shifter.
