Conversion to manual steering
Would like to convert my power rack and pinion to manual. Can anyone recommend an aftermarket product or someone who does or makes this conversion for a 2007 SS.

The reason for the need to switch is I changed the heads and intake on it and with the new intake I have lost all my clearance for the power steering pump and reservoir by about 3/4". Eliminating the power steering would eliminate the problem with a simple belt change and new rack. Thanks for the interest though, I have found someone in Ohio who does this kind of work and can easily make this change for me. I just have to consider whether or not I want to handle the car now with this change or do something else like make a custom intake to fit instead. Thank you. As far as the weight goes this car is nearly a thousand pounds lighter than the car I learned how to drive on and it never had power steering so I thought this would not be such a bad change.

Well the rack change is only $900 and I have no idea what a custom intake would cost but I am looking into that also. What I do not know anything about is the dynamics of a custom made intake and the changes that would have to be made to bolt a custom one on. How is it going to perform, how is the altered design going to hamper or improve the performance - I am just now begining my research but I will find out soon. Thanks for the input guys.
