Trying to get my beater 61 chev into daily duties and want to get power steer sorted...big block makes the steering tight for my girl... They come standard with a power ram as assistance but I want to go power box or even a rack conversion.... Is there a bolt in unit from later model chevs(65 on) ?? Or someone that does a conversion of some sort? Then all I gotta worry about is the sad state of our dollar at the moment.. Any ideas??
i've seen power steering boxes and rack and pinions offered by several places , the only one i can think of now is Boregeson : http://www.borgeson.com/POWER STEERING/DirectReplacements.html i'm sure others on here will know more
You can use the 605 power box and adapter plate with a early bottle neck pump. Google 605 power steering conversion and a bunch of stuff will come up. You can junk yard all the pieces except the adapter plate. You will need a std. steering pitman arm and center link if I remember correctly. Hope this helps some.
