Clashez Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 So is it possible to run the 1983 280 zxt manifold on the 280 ZX head without having to change the steering rack and it will bolt rigbt up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluDestiny Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Depends on what steering rack you have. I have the manual rack and it clears fine. The normal power steering (without the big box thing) is also fine. If you have the big box thing (recipricating power steering) you will normally have to notch the P/S box to get it to clear the turbo.

Clashez Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I wonder if it would just be easier to get a T3 flange just welded into your stock exhaust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger280zx Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I wonder if it would just be easier to get a T3 flange just welded into your stock exhaust. The easiest thing would be to dig up a bunch of 9 year old threads asking questions that have already been answered because you're too lazy to search. The recirculating ball system that you have is probably heavily worn any way. Why don't you do what everyone else does and swap to the rack and pinion set up. It is a lot of work, but it is not that difficult. I have heard that notching the box is an alternative, but I would go rack and pinion (power or manual).
