manual or power steering??
 

Right now I have the car setup for manual steering with a stock manual box. The front tires are 245/45/17 and Im concerned its going to be a bear to steer. Will a s-10 box and a ls1 pump work ok for the street with maybe some
track time. What would be the best steering box on a budget(used or less than $150)

:Its a 71 Nova with the stock subframe and a turbo 6.0. I think I could fit a LS1 pump in the stock location.

Anyone?

i dont know weather or not they will work but i look at using a third gen camaro box but if you want to use an s10 box look for one from a zq8 they both have a quicker ratio then the standard s trucks but id try the manual sterring first and see how bad it is rember a lager wheel can give you more leverage besides most gm manual sterring boxes have a high enough ratio to make it easy

I have manual right now... its only a pain when you are turning at a dead stop... anything above 2 miles per hour, the thing turns easily.

Did the ls1 pump work? Any other progress pics? Can we get a full picture of the engine with piping?

:thumbsup: on the build

Decided to leave the manual steering on it for now and see how it is. The engine is all apart for machine work now, so I dont have any more pics.
