Monte Carlo SS steering box swap
The car in question is an 85 Z28, it doesn't have F41 suspension and I am wondering if the swap will work and if it will make a difference in the steering effort and turning speed.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.

The swap will work, just install the pitman arm from the F-body on the G-body box and you will be good to go. It bolts into the frame the same way, and the fittings on the lines are the same as well.

I don't know, since the Z28 I am working on doesn't have the F41 Sport Suspension, I am anticipating the Monte Carlo SS box will be better.

I'mnot sure, but I think the MCSS box is basically like an XH box without internal stops. 3 turns lock to lock, but because the turning radius is shorter from what I understand.
