Changing out the steering rack, even with post-Subaru-frame-mount cars (759 and up) is still going to be a medium PITA if you have to do it. The Flaming River rack, I think, is modified by ERA to change not only the lock-to-lock value but also the inner tie rods as well. I think that's right; I know my FR rack probably took as much labor time to modify, so that it mimicked the Subaru rack, that it doubled the original price. The steering racks on the Kirkham cars are also a bit of a PITA too. It must a be a "Cobra thing."
