Hmmmm, thinking about it you might want to confirm that it will fit first too depending on where your engine sits. Mine is midmounted so my bracket was made up without that as a consideration in the fitting. Also my van is a later model that yours so there might be a gotcha there as well.

Good thinking, I don't think you could have a stock mounting bracket as so many engine swaps a different, / backward mount- High mount- low mount - forward mount like mine, all will have an effect on the mounting of the power steering, unless you go mid mount like you.

Your rack has been moved forward by the looks of it, or might be the angle of the picture.

It does look different. I'm sure mine had nowhere near that size gap between the rack and the front crossmember.

Hi Rogue and other Transit power rack converters. Scored myself a rack at Pick-a-Part earlier today so I'm about to join the assisted steering club. Had a sudden though and figured you fellows would know the answer. I left the Transit universal joint and short steering rod back in the yard. Do I need it ?
