Saginaw p/s conversion and a SBC...will this box work??

[toomanytoyzz]

I've read that most look for the J20 saginaw steering boxes, but didin't know if it was the same. It looks like it has 4 mounting holes, but wonder if it will fit my application. I have a 71 FJ40 with a 327. I'm sure I'll need different type headers. here's the link 70 's Jeep Cherokee Wagoneer Steering Gear Box:eBay Motors (item 280340803304 end time May-31-09 13:30:41 PDT)

Have you entertained the thought of using a FJ60 box?

Saginaw makes the gear boxes for Jeep, so many of the post here on Mud refer to using the Jeep box. What you need is an 800 series passenger car type box, inside frame mount bolting outward into the frame, as opposed to Pickup style that mounts outside the frame bolting inward. The box you need is found on Jeeps, and mid and full sized GM passenger vehicles. The last one I bought used was off of a Chevy S-10.

Howdy! That box is a little different that what most folks use. I have never seen the little nub sticking out of the input shaft. Also, the output shaft does not look like it has the common diameter/spline count to match most of the Pitman Arms that are normally used in LandCruiser/Saginaw conversions. John
