i wouldnt want to drive a manual rack car daily if it had wide tires in front. i have a manual but its with skinnys so its not bad at all. but if you have 8" wide wheels in front wit 245's it might get old for daily driving.

 

The delux kit with the rod ends, rack and shaft is sold by Holcomb MotorSports of Lumberton N.C. for well under $400......
Radip service too.....

 

I also run the skinnies but my frind has the manual rack and the wide tires. It drives just like mine. 5.0 Mustangs are not all the nose heavy so they turn ok with a manual rack.

 

Lots of late 80's-early 90's 5.0's came with about 58% of the weight on the front end, thats all.
Manual rack should really bother anyone unless they have to paraell park with 285's on the front......
