I'm having some issues with fitment on the drivers side manifold the giant steering box is in the way. So Im looking at switching to rack and pinion steering there is a kit that aje makes anyone know if its any good.
Were you able to fit those Dakota headers without chopping them up?
You should get some clearance by switching to a manual box. But even that might be tight. You can try shimming the motor mounts up a little also.
