jhaag Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 I'm converting my power recirculating ball steering ('79 ZX) to power rack & pinion steering. There is very little clearance (1/16 inch) between the rack and the bottom of the oil pan of the 350 L-98 engine. I'm guessing that the normal movement/torquing of the engine will require more than that. I could either modify the stock pan (small $) or spend bigger bucks to convert to an aftermarket pan such as the Canton road race pan (#15-244 at http://www.cantonracingproducts.com/pans/road_race/sbc_road_race.html ). Ross Corrigan planned to get this one but I don't know if he ever did before his ZX was stolen. How much clearance is enough?
