Steering 74 CJ5 Power Steering Conversion

[RicksRadio]

Existing manual gear box has 3 bolts, new or remans power units have 4 bolt. Is there a junkyard source that would have the proper frame mounting bracket for the power gear box?
Or perhaps, would the 4 bolt version have 3 holes already lined up and just needing to fab a spacer for the 4th on the existing frame mount? Thx

You show a 74 with a 225 and a T-14 ... Are you sure on the year? 74 should have a AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l and a T-15 ...

Not a problem though. Have you looked at any of the linked threads below?

Never mind my idiotic post - I stand corrected The T-14 an 225 was available in your year. -->> Please see this post. -->> https://jeep-cj.com/community/threads/manual-cj-transmissions.43554/#post-394891

I hope some of the links I provided can help with your bracket issue.

Jeep is definitely a 74 but someone had put in the V6 and it's drivetrain . Junkyard scribbles in wax or chalk crayon still on engine block from a '71 CJ5 . Also, the Transmission crossmember is from who knows what and was modified to hang properly under the frame given the Transmission mount used. Plus, fuel line and other under the hood mods took place to use the engine along with slightly modified dual exhaust system apparently from junked 71. Code on firewall denotes a AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l engine was original. Whoever did the swap did a decent job and made it easy by using all the drivetrain from the 71. The Buick bellhousing and factory Jeep/Kaiser spacer is pretty well T-14 specific. Anyways, thanks for the link and I am still searching around more. Thought maybe a quick fix could be found while I'm still finalizing anything needed on frame suspension brakes before the new tub goes on.
