the easiest way to do a ps swap o nthe troopie is to source the parts from australia. you'll have to run hj61 components. they normally cost about $1k for the whole setup and are pretty sought after, even down under.

i'm doing a ps conversion on an hj47 right now but we're also swapping it from RHD to LHD.

you could do a ps swap using a sag box from a chevy truck. make sure it's a 4 bolt, 4.25 turn box. you don't want a 3 bolt or 3.5 turn version. it'll mount on the inside of the right frame horn. the ps plates i sell will work. you'll need a collapsible steering shaft and some joints, all of which can be bought from flaming river thru summit racing; they have the best prices and generally have everything in stock. mounting the ps pump may be a little interesting. there is room on the left side of the engine above the head. that's where i'm going to mount my ps pump. the hoses will most likely have to be custom made; most napa staores have the hose crimper and fittings in stock. they normally build custom hoses for $60-80. i would run a ps cooler on the return line also. i have these in stock as well if you need one.
