Guest Anonymous Posted April 30, 2000 Share Posted April 30, 2000 I was putting a 350 in my 1980 280zx. The steering box was in the way of the headers, so I had to take it back out. What can I do to get around this box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine clears a non power rack'n'pinion '80 setup OK. Had oilpan/crossmember 'closeness', but just had an Lt1 pan modified and now I can drop it another inch to run a better air filter setup than teh dropdown style I've run the past 3 yrs or so.

Guest Anonymous Posted May 7, 2000 Share Posted May 7, 2000 I have the 1980 power steering box, which really got in the way of the exhaust manifold. I also have a V8 pinto conversion we're doing right now. I thought about using the steering rack from the pinto on the Z to make clearance. I'm really anxious to get a V8 in my Z.

I'm not familiar with what clears your power rack but I know it's fairly simple w/ the non power rack'n'pinion. If you plan to keep your current rack check out the offerings of Sanderson who have something for most anyone. Here's a good URL IMO, if anyone finds a more complete site let me know....I've been looking for hugger 1-3/4 headers for some time now. http://www.centuryperformance.com/sanderson2.htm ------------------ Ross Corrigan '80 280ZX, just yanked the faithful '68 327 in favour of a '98 350 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
