to get height on the front end you could kick the springs but that can be a pain in the a!$. Or you could jack the front end up so the suspension is unloaded and weld a piece of sway bar in there.

77 mercury Monterey with a 400 has a Saginaw pump. No work for you just screw it in.

The steering box broke internally on my 83 LTD, what box will interchange or would it be worth it to put an old iron GM on it?
