Started the Rebuild on the TII

I just started putting my car back together today. I bought a J-spec engine and it will take three weeks to get here. My question is...while I have the engine out....how hard is it to convert from power steering to rack and pinion with no power assist? Similar to a Ferrari. I haven't really looked into it...and I wondered what I would need and how hard it would be.

Are you trying to do away with power steering alltogether?

It will be very straight forward, not bad at all when the engine is out

The engine is out and the bay is naked. I just want to switch it out. How much do you want for the rack? Let me know ASAP....you can PM me if you want to.

I have the engine pulled and I see now that with it in...that would pose a huge problem.

I plan on dropping in a manual rack when I get around to pulling my engine (halfway there). What's a good source for the parts? Can I just order one from Mazda or Pepboy's?

BTW...how long does it take for a J-Spec engine to come in once you order it?
