I don't believe there is a power steering rack that fits the HotRod. Most people use electric power steering which is available through Factory Five.

Tony said one off a 87-93 Mustang would work.

On the HotRod? I don't think so. Its way too long. I think I read somewhere that the rack is from a Dodge Omni.

There is a length issue with power racks due to the valving and piston arrangement. My understanding was changing the outer tie rods resulted in less turn radius. I have seen something on circle tracks that is more compact, but not sure it would work either. In the end the electric unit is lighter and there is more than one place to mount it. If Tony says one fits we all would appreciate some publicly shared info from FFR on that. Personally I don't want the clutter of the pump and parisitic whine of the hydraulics...

The only one I can recall is Dan Ruth (Dr Ruth)used a Dodge Omni power rack on Hot Rod Lincoln, raised it to get the length right and made other adjustments to then make the geometry work. He posted about it on one of the forums if you do a search.
