Re: Power steering for a CJ5
Yes, you can put power steering in it.It's a GM system. My guess is that
it's gonna be something you will have to put together because if the vehicle
came stock with the V8, it shoulda had power steering already.

Re: Power steering for a CJ5
Ah, well. What I cannot tell you is if the I6 pump and hoses will fit
the V8 application, but the steering box should be good for either
engine from 1976 through 1983 or so. Probably even farther.

Re: Power steering for a CJ5
Biggest concerns:
1) bracket and mounting for the pump to the motor
2) gear box should be easy swap, but make sure pump fitting matches box
(pump fitting can be changed)
3) finding proper hoses
Note: define "easy to swap" = bolts come out of frame without weld-nuts
breaking off, and proper tool available to get pitman arm off.
Start at the bone yard.
I did it on my CJ-7.... best modification done yet!
