someone said 91 Dakota rack and pinion works for hemi conversion does it?

 

[67Dart273]

You cannot just put rack and pinion in these cars, or "everybody would be" doing it. You either need an aftermarket suspension such as Hemi Denny, Alter K or similar, or "re-engineer" the front end yourself.

Yeah. Just open the hood and throw it in.
