Hi Tony,
Well, in my case that would be 4 bolts for the pulley (5.0L motor).
But that would only give maybe 2inches more clearance but I need
at least 4inches to get the T-5 out of the X-frame.  Dunno... even
with the rack and pulley in place I did get the engine out and back.
I am talking just the 4 rack mount bolts (and the steering column
I guess) not the PITA tie rod ends.
I am not sure I could even get the pulley bolts out with the steering
rack in the way... looks like you might have to rotate the crank at
least..

Gary

Gary- would it not be easier to remove the 3 bolts holding the pulley on, so it isnt hitting the rack- that would be esier than removing the rack IMO/TtT
