Hey guys,
My son and I are progressing nicely on the V8 swap into his '70 coupe. We have the '89 5.0 HO and 5 spd from the Mustang LX about ready to put in. We are utilizing the serpentine system and components from the '89. We plan to add power steering since we'll have the pump and brackets in place.
I've done some searching through the archives and it seems pretty straight forward. Has anyone else done this swap (vs. a rack and pinion conversion) that could comment on the swap and the parts I need to order? I assume a new (rebuilt) gear box, pitman arm and center link. Is this correct? Anything else other that hoses? Anyone sell these hoses for the newer pump to the stock style gear box? Any suggestions on suppliers for the other needed components?
Thanks, Tom
