As per title.
This is my fj80 power steering install.
The 80 box has the same bolt pattern as the late 60, and 62 boxes. Before mid 84, the boxes had a different bolt pattern.
What’s good for to goose is good for the gander./// all roads lead to Rome.
BOM:
1994 fzj80 steering box with pitman arm - rebuild process to follow.
Valley Hybrids Saginaw pump install kit
(Includes pulley, belt, high pressure hose, and mounting hardware. I opted to grind my own oem bracket.
Saginaw pump- pn to follow upon purchase.
Fj80 slip yoke
Fj80 drivers side drag link end
Ford shock towers
TLC performance smog pump eliminator
Belt for water pump to eliminator pulley - pn to follow upon purchase
Low pressure hose and cooler - pn to follow upon purchase.
4 3/4”x1/2” DOM sleeves 3” long - will trim to fit
4 12mmx1.75 pitch 105mm long grade 8 bolts with lock washers and flanged nylock nuts.
Step 1:
Box install. Remove old bits. Mock box position and mark holes to make. Clearance motor mount bracket. Clearance fender well. Drill holes using 1/2” drill bit all the way thru. Mount box temporarily to gain some satisfaction and further intel.
Note: box will be removed, outside frame rail holes will grow to 3/4” using step bit, DOM sleeves and fish plate will be installed prior to commissioning.
Fish plate requirement in
My case is to add clearance between the motor mount and steering box; added strength is extra credit.
