Re: cj7 power steering pump
The brackets on the engines are different. The brackets on the frame are
the same for both manual and power.

You don't need a new input shaft. You need the pot joint(or coupling joint)
at the end of the steering shaft. The aluminum colored thing with the rubber
boot. The splined input shafts on the two different steering gear boxes are
different sizes. A parts yard should be able to get you the complete set-up.
That would be the easiest route, by far.
Do you have the v-8 parts already or can you get them cheap? It could be
as simple as getting the brackets off any AMC I-6, swapping them to that
pump and obtaining both hoses for a '79 CJ.
Be warned, after you finish this swap you will probably want to add
power brakes too.
