Engine mounts were designed for a Jeep. Scored them off ebay from somebody 6 plus months ago for my old Jeep but never installed look like waterjeted and bent
 
I've heard of what is called supposedly a load reacting orbital so it feels more like mechanical steering do u know what that's all about/ the difference between traditional. Now back to the pump I'm running a 4bt diesel does the diesel pumps have any different qualitys. I just don't want much slop in the steering and if it acts like a 3 turn PS box (which is pretty fast. I would like to comfortably drive her down the highway 70 MPH

I would recommend the load reacting steering valve because it gives you more of a feel for trail and has a return to center function much like modern power steering. The RTC does work better at higher speeds but don't expect it to be great though. As for your pump, you can install any pump on your 4bt with the right bracket and again you will want a high PSI and GPM pump to make the hydro setup work good.

Here is an article that helped me when I was debating on full hydro.

Thx very helpfully currently doing more research to make my desision but Its likely Ill do it mocked the engine between the frame rails and traditional steering might not be possible

My fuel tank is bad can I use a gas tank from say a 74. Or are they to different other than the filler neck
 
Thx I purchased it beacause I broke the original manual one one day I still to this day don't completely. Understand how. All I know is I was wheeling and was going between hi and low range then all off a sudden after coming out of a climb I went to put her in high range and my lever was real loose and she wouldnyt change gear but sure enthusiasm broke the aluminum. Housing for the shifter

Dude...the flex on that thing is oh so dirty!!!

Gonna take some serious courage to drive it to its full capability - can wait to see it in its natural environment-parked on top of a Mercedes who double parked at The Landing! Damn that's sick!!
 
Thx. I've been a Wheeler stuck on a prodject I can't wait to go have fun again
 
I have not seen the rear shocks mounted as close the center section, does this affect that way they work?
