Thanx heaps people for the input, I'll take those things on board, gotta do something. So with the right cooling set up, do you's think that the standard hilux radiator is capable of keeping the V8 cool enough

I will suss out the mounts on it 2morrow Jess.
Think my best bet would be to take the box to a steering specialist and see what they reckon.

Thanks to everyone who put in a reply!.

Had a friend tell me today that its not the same as his XE steering box. He told me that from XA to XF power steering units are all the same, and these Ford boxes have curved pitman arms.

it's not a HQ/WB steering box because i have several of these already. The motor in my Hilux is a 253 V8. There are no more markings on the box other than the ones shown in the photos.

I think the standard air cleaner adaption is my best option. Using an old truck exaust sounds the go, giving it that bling bling affect. Dual snorkles would look tough indeed.
