Default K-Member install............ Little help!!

I am doing this for the first time and I am about to ditch my donor car 88 gt vert. I have not installed my k_member into my 93 notch yet but Do I need to use the steering system Rack? from the 88 gt or will the steering unit from th 4cyl notch be ok? This is a drag only car and eventually i will street it

Thanks

I think the v8 one might be a quicker ratio (less turns lock to lock)

It's not hard as long as your moving. The faster your rolling the easier it is. But something like trying to park in a tight space is not too much fun.
