Thinking on my new motor I may just run an alternator off the crank pulley and nothing else. Anybody tried this before and have any advice one way or another?

 

Im doing it on my new motor also. Should have it going in very soon..

 

Did you replace your old power steering rack with a new version? If so what kind? You running electric or stock water pump?

 

Mine is all gone. I have an electric water pump and looped the stock power stearing. If you plan to drive it alot on the street its not a good idea. If you have wide tires on the front its horrible. I run skinnies and its mostly a track car and its still a pain.

 

Yeah, I don't expect it to be fun to drive on the street. This would mostly be a road race car. Looking into alternate steering set-ups.

No problems running the electric water pump on the street? Wonder how that would hold up under road race conditions?

 

running mad man manual steering rack

 

They flow less than stock so not good.

 

they do? show me...they flow 35gph..some even more..all the time..not at max rpm
