something sounds amiss...the cars you took the parts from probably had
respectable agility. transferring those parts shouldn't change that
characteristic unless you have a significant discrepancy in width
between front wheels. if yes, then definitely, ditch that system.
steering geometry is hard to get right if you're doing more than a
sandbuggy, and not seasoned as an engineer in the area. probably
fewer than 20% of the pro engine swappers are even qualified to do
what you trying. your best bet is to try to search past magazine
articles for a rack-and-pinion conversion on your car (or dodges/
chryslers if they have identical specs in that regard).
don't forget too, some companies offer complete weld in "systems".
these are costly, but often come with coil-overs that are
adjustable...if you're also doing a non-oem engine swap, you'll
probably have a justified need to for that anyway. if you buy a
system like that, talk to them about your application first. probably
the first thing they'll ask is your front track (width between front
wheels).
