no DSE unit is different slightly. a SN95 rack has the right dimensions to bolt up. Have to change out the ends or disassemble the rack and modify. Not a big deal . Theres more to the story . Customer has never driven this car 1 miles . Insisit's it has PS steering but then says were doing a DSE front frame and LS with Quadarlink very soon to it.....Just a waste of money .

well, sounds like he has plenty of money, and as long as he's willing to pay twice for it, then that's good for you.

Geez --- Too bad I sold the one I had hanging in the shed from the ceiling! It had P/S....

Geebus Weld, you got sheet all over the place. LOL

Hey Jason, I have an early early Wayne frame, Might even be a Rasmusen frame. I found that it was different, a bit wider and we found that they used a mid 90's Caravan outer tie rod to make it work. Thst might help you out.

I have an early wayne due frame w/C4 suspension/C5brakes. Its been a while, but when I was trying to find out what rack was on it the match was 93 cobra mustang and/or 94/95 cobra. I dont know if this will help you or not but I figured it couldnt hurt. The LS1 pump has too must assist on this rack for my liking. Its great for autocross, but on open track w/higher speeds it will be too twitchy for me. Right now Im running a smaller restricter in the pump,which helps, but I will evemtually have the rack revalved.

That's a problem with running a GM pump and a Ford rack.... There is a valve replacement for that on the high pressure side of the pump. But I agree = it's close but not perfect.

I am almost sure you could a DSE (24.5)rack(The DSE unit use's 9/16 mounting bolt's on 15.5"center's).Might have to use some .750 O.D X .058 wall tube to make a new thur mounting sleeve.The DSE unit are revalved for GM pump PSI.
