If the TR3 has a one-piece steering shaft, changing to rack and pinion is even 
more involved.  You have to obtain two piece shaft parts as well.  If you look 
at the Moss kit, this is described in detail.  The standard box can be rebuilt 
and if done correctly, will provide excellent operation.  I'd say if the 
steering is in that bad a shape, getting all suspension and steering components 
renewed as well, will transform the car.  I use mostly standard components on 
my TR3A street/race car and rebuilt the steering box myself.  The worm gear was 
still in good condition.
