: I'm going to swap in a 5.0 for my 250. the car has power steering which i want to condemn because it leaks and i really prefer manual steering anyway. what do i need to do to remove the power components and make it manual?
That's the best move you can make! The power steering sucks on these cars! You could replace everything & it might still leak. The major difference between the two is the PITMAN ARM. Its longer than the power steering one & the Tapper is also different. The best way to start is new with these cars. New drag-link, inner-outer tie rod ends & upper & lower ball joints & a idler arm for good messure. Believe me this is the best way to go here.
