Power steering for 74 maverick block

[NCMystic]

the girlfriend is getting a 1967 mustang coupe on friday, it has a built 74 maverick block and no power steering

anyone know if the power steering from my 89 fox coupe with XXX block will work on her 67 coupe?

if not where do i get the parts for power steering for her? trying to go as low budget on this as possible

thanks guys!

The pump will work. But not the lines because the 67 mustang doesn't use a steering rack. It has power assist.

so i could use the pump/pulley assembly off the fox on the 1974 maverick block, what else do i need?

You can use it assuming you use the same bracket off the fox. However you'd have to run serpentine. Essentially if you just ran fox accessory brackets and the pump and alternator off a fox you could make it work. You'd need the slave cylinder, lines, cooler (recommended), and the box. You may have to adapt a few of the lines.

Also the idler arm is different, along with some of the linkage. Honestly the borgeson conversion kit that uses the internal assist box and saginaw pump is really a much better option for factory manual steering cars.

Yea I just had a customers car have a bad pump and I was doing a motor swap on 1967 vert at the time. It was easier for me to swap to fox serpentine setup and prolly cheaper Cus I had all the crap laying around my shop

Don't forget to check the water pump impeller. Most v belts spin the same as the crank, and most serpentines spin in the opposite direction. I ran into this putting a Fox motor into a 67 mustang. Other issues included the snout difference and the radiator hose connections for the water pump. The old mustang and the new ones were on opposite sides. I ended up putting a newer radiator into the 67. The old style had top and bottom tanks and the newer had side tanks. Unless you have all of this stuff laying around it might be cheaper and easier to buy a 67 pump and sector gear. You may have to replace the steering linkage (pitman arm, center link, and idler arm) as well. If so check out Global, they can set you up with quick ratio. Fred
