Need PSI

hey guys and girls just wondering if theres a difference between the ea to el steering racks, i know im gonna need a new steering rack and just wanted to know if there is any difference, that includes weight (how much harder it is to turn the wheel), full lock to lock ratio, and if there compatible with ea's. im geting a second hand one for 5 bux just got to pull it off my self, how hard are these to pull of by the way, isnt it just the two ends that bolt onto the tie rods and 4 more bolts that hold it to the car underneath, never done one on a e-series.

Cheers
Ehab

EA racks are 23.3:1 steering ratio and take 3.2 turns lock to lock
EB are 18.5:1 and take 3.0 turns lock to lock.
EB GT/ED Sprint also used a different rack again with (presumably) less turns to lock

EA/EF have a diffrent spline count and as such the intermediate shaft is diffrent. And as such the intermediate shaft wont hook up to the column.

arent V8 and 6 cyl racks different as well?

NZ

no. V8 racks the same. They just feel heavier again with more weight over them
