[V8] Steering Rack Rant

[Tony and Lillie]

Uh, yea, not easy at all. Probably close to the V8. The rack is no cake walk 
on any of these cars.

And, if it's a 3.0, it also takes some special tools for the TB that are not 
exactly cheap. On the 2.7/2.8 the cam locker is the only necessary tool, at 
about $90. The 3.0 is closer to $225 for the tools. And the cam covers have 
to come off :(
