K-Member / Rack & Pinion Steering Suggestions

aluminum engine....block and heads together are 265 lb lighter over cast. Battery / donut spare (ballast) in trunk. Front axle centerline moved forward 1-1/4" , rear axle moved forward 1-1/2", no roll bar, front tied to rear frame rails / 4-bar / back half.....a stocker.

Very cool! Lots of tricks there you don't catch by casually walking by.

Is it manual steering too?
