As it turns out the track rod arm is part of the steering rack. To replace the steering rack i needed to drop the sub frame. Which is halfway to changing the engine. So wile i was doing that i thought i might as well throw the new race engine in. But as i had some parts i wanted to flet the new engine with i thought now is as good a time as any to rebuild the fecker.
