If you're talking about a small block chevy into a 240sx you can:

1. disable the power steering by looping the fluid line or modifying the rack2. have custom power steering lines made and use the V8 power steering pump or use a 91-95 Toyota electric power steering pump

Yes you have lines made to fit the Nissan rack on one end, and the Chevy pump on the other end.

i dont think its goin to work because the oil pan is like 1/2 inch away from the rack i just was wondering if i could just grease it up

Sounds like you need to moidy your pan and mounts. Mckinny makes SBC swap parts and mount kits.

now that i read your post again I am guessing you mean that the oil pan sits 1/2 in behind the rack and no room for the hard lines. even with pushing my motor back about 4-5 inches I had to make a small dimple in the face of the sump. lower my crossmember then sit the engine on the mounts which are welded to frame rails, then raise the crossmember into place under the engine.

definately will need a modified pan .

ok my car is a 89 240sx with a small block chevy in it i will make an page of my build later i just put another one in with very little fulid and moved the cars couple days later the thing had broke so do they make manual one or i had an idea would it work i was think since there no nipple on the rack cuz i had to break it off if i put screws in at all the place where the lines go and fill it up with gear oil cuz its thicker would that work

You just dont want to run the rack dry, but I don't see the point as well. Your swappping a lot into the car, just have some lines made. (A local performace shop that custom makes -AN lines, sells fittings, etc can help you. Daft innovations is good, maybe if you send Rich the pump he can make you lines).

Any how if you want to run manual without buying a manual rack. Take the pressure and rurn line and make them the same length. Fill both sides with ATF fluid right down the lines. Leave a little room at the top of the lines for air and fluid movement (likefill the lines like 2 inchs for the top). Cap lines off and done.
