Hey guys I'm looking to do a steering box upgrade for my 79 Malibu. I can get a 91 iroc box from a friend but not sure what else is needed to finish the job. I know I can do the jeep Cherokee steering shaft upgrade but will this work with an iroc box? Where can I find adapters for my stock pump to fit the new box and do I need to do the valve mod on the stock pump. Yea lots of questions but don't want to get stuck in the middle of the job. Thanks guys

Not positive the pitman arm will swap but the box will bolt up. I would hold on to the stock pitman arm just in case.

You will need a pitman arm for the Malibu; it is not the same as the Camaro. If you have a 605 box, you will need to source a new arm. If you already have an 800 box, you can reuse the arm from the Malibu.

Well I got everything installed. All new tie rods , center link, idler and got the box and new pump in. Works great. Have just under 2.5 turns. A lot tighter feel.
