Power steering conversion?

[iver1311]

I have an 81 CJ5 and am attempting a power steering conversion using a gear box, pulley and pump from a 1996 grand Cherokee. Can anyone tell what changes or adapters I may need? Everyrhing looks about the same. I do not know about the spline count yet or how I am mounting the pulley and pump.

All ideas or concerns are greatly appreciated!!

Thanks

You will need the PS pitman arm and the PS intermidiate steering shaft as the PS gearbox has dif spline input and out, both can be had at 4wd.com or the others. The pump mount is a bit more challenge, you will need to fab something up custom or try to locate a used bracket from another AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l (not sure if the 4.0 will work).
