rack and pinion installation in a 1954 Kaiser
« on: December 22, 2014, 12:17:26 PM »
Does anyone have any experience installing a power rack and pinion in a 54 Kaiser? Which one will work?  Difficulties encountered? The pump will not be a problem because the car will be chevy powered.   Thanks for any info.

There are companies out there who offer Mustang !! conversions for all kinds of cars and they work on Kaisers.

As popular as Mustang II front end parts are for hot rodding, and considering how few are left in wrecking yards, I wonder how there could possibly be any racks around for today's street rodder.

The newest varieties are called Mustang II but they are copies and are similar but are made with different sizes to fit different frames.
