What sort of help?
If you need to buy a setup, I've heard Rod's Racks or V6 Conversions kits are pretty good.

Not sure where he's located, just heard he offers a better product than that "hot rod place" in Vic, probably better customer service too  :-X

I have used Rod for my car and I would recommend him with no hestiation at all. He did an absolute fantastic job for me and I am based on the other coast.

rods racks are definately the go,but i must warn you a front mount rack has a very small turning circle,but this is the compromise with a v8
thats why i'm runnin a 6

I think you mean a very "large" turning circle. The Rods Racks setup has a smaller turning circle than the CRS set up and is very acceptable in my opinion. Most engineers are much happier with this set up because it has better geometry as well.
All V8 early Holdens we did with RR steering drove, steered and handled very well and passed through engineering with no problems.
