SD RE: 89 CSX RACK
I will chime in here. The rack in your car is the same as a quick ratio turbo shadow rack or a Daytona Shelby rack. I do not know if the tie rod ends are the same on the Daytona as the CSX but I do know the basic quick ratio rack is the same among the model lines. Even though the service manual lists different pressure ratings among the pumps, all will work for whatever application as long it is the same pump type. (i.e. Saginaw).

RE: SD Re:Need CSX-VNT Info
Dude, relax. You ask for free advice then complain when you don't get it? Nice. Never mind that if you had done some research on your own, you'd see that they might be different Externally, the racks are the same. Only the L-bodies are different. The CSX-VNT had the fast ratio firm feel rack. So, its 2.5 turns lock to lock. If the car came with the 225/50's then it got the 87 Shelby Z steering rack and its only 2.25 turns lock to lock (different stops to keep the tires from fowling, same ratio though) The 91 may have the slower ratio rack. A quick check with a pair of vice grips or by turning the wheel will tell you whether its 3 or 2.5 turns lock to lock. If you're gonna get this pissy about not getting your free advice, then perhaps you should sell the car and buy a Honda. Plenty of free advice there (about chrome this, platinum that, carbon fiber yada yada yada) Best Regards, Stefan Mullikin Portland, OR Co-Founder PNW-SDAC http://www.pnw-sdac.org 1980 Fiat X-1/9 1984 Dodge Rampage 2.2 1987 Plymouth Sundance Turbo 1987 Shelby CSX #106 1988 Shelby CSX-T #3 -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, September 10, 2005 7:44 PM To: shelby-dodge@imagicomm.com Subject: SD Re:Need CSX-VNT Info Is the power steering rack any different than the other 91 shadows with PS?

SD Re: 89 CSX steering rack info
The racks on the standard tire cars are the same as a Shadow ES. The racks on wide tire cars came out of the Shelby Z Daytona as the 225 tires required the addition of the bump stops to keep tires from rubbing. -- Joe Goetz, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Frederick, MD, USA ---REMOVE-FOOTER-WHEN-REPLYING Questions?

SD Circle Track racing?
Well, since my family is BIG into short track racing, and this summer I was introduced to Pony Stocks I've been thinking long and hard about turning my parts shadow into a contender. Anyone have an advice on it? I know I won't be able to use the turbo motor but a NA 2.2 and I have most of the parts laying around collecting dirt anyway. On the same note does anyone need any maroon 87 shadow interior? I'm looking at getting rid of it pretty cheap, and it's all in decent shape, but I'd rather not ship the big stuff, but I may deliver it. Just email me with needs!

Re: SD Circle Track racing?
Matt- I have looked into this. Helped a friend run 'Mini-Stock' with 2.3L Mustangs. I would be most tempted to run a 2 door L-Body. Going straight to a N/A shelby charger would start you off with better brakes and 5 lug wheels. Anyway, the weight distribution, total weight, rigidity, and simplicity would make that my first choice. Most 4 cylinder classes have no weight restrictions, so another plus for the 2 door l-body, IMO. The P-body is a great platform, but where every pound is important, start off light. Neil V.

SD Re: 89 CSX steering rack info
I just wanted to apologize for posting such a hasty message. It was not intended to be that way and I certainly failed the first time to illustrate the urgency of the info I needed. I lost sight of the fact that we're all driving similar vehicles and most if not everyone on here knows what it's like to have one down. I'm just trying to keep a numbered car on the road. I apologize to everyone who had to read my unsavory and uncalled for post. No need to reply I certainly feel bad enough already. Shaun Murphy. ---REMOVE-FOOTER-WHEN-REPLYING Questions?

SD Re:Shelby Dakota parts for sale (new)
A friend of mine read and copied the MP computer and the bin is being looked at. Anyone need something changed? Looking to raise the rev limiter on it but other than that it is just the MP cal. So that computer can be made. As for the TB, it is just a 360 piece, and the 318 won't flow enough to use it. Actually the 360 intake won't either but it is bigger than a 318 intake and looks exactly the same. The best thing to do is run both and maybe a tiny bit of match porting at the head, don't worry this 360 intake doesn't have 340 ports. I just sold a set of Shelby Dakota headers on Ebay, the worst way to make money and I got $511 for my set and they are not coated FYI.
