Mopar box with Ford pump? possible??
I see alot of Volare' users here. I am wondering, as I design brackets for the mopar pump on my Cordoba (Gibbon) IFS with 351 W.....
Does anyone have GOOD experience with a Ford pump on a Mopar IFS? Sure would make life easier. I read in one of the comic books that pressure is too high for steering box.
and / or got a photo of a mopar pump on a 302 or 351W to help me out?

The answer to your question is kinda up in the air as far as we're concerned.
Do a search for one or two threads that deal with this. One mighta been started by me.
Part of the problem is that we can't get pressure figures for the ford pump versus the mopar box. We have the mopar box (in one of those threads).
Anyway, you might get some info from those threads......

I am running the Gibbons/Cordoba but I think the boxes are the same. I have burned up 4 pumps and 3 boxes if I remember correctly and several hoses. One pump ended up with a blistered plastic reservoir.
I cut the spring on the pressure relief valve and added a cooler and it appears to have fixed the problem. Mileage approaching 80K.
