Looks nice! What's up with the angled coils?

Those were just a mock up, nothing was welded in at that point.

WAY too tall for my tastes, but it looks like you did a good job on it.

Some steering line information I found was that the late model ford pumps use a different 16mm on the high pressure side of it. I bought an adapter from Lee Power Steering in california which seals it off and uses an aluminum washer instead of the teflon ring to seal it. The fittings on the toyota ifs box are 16mmx1.5 IF on the pressure side and 17mmx1.5 IF on the low pressure side. I bought the adapters and hoses from PSC motorsports and put the hoses together myself, it was pretty easy and leak free.

The problem I have with the IFS yota box is that the forward most bolt barely has any clearance from the radiator hose, I cut a nut in half and cut the bolt down just so I'd have maximum clearance.
High steer stuff... definately caused more problems than anything, since my axle is cut down 6", I barely had any real estate to fit stuff. Honestly, I wish I went full width on the front. I also got my expy d/s extended three inches to accomodate moving the rear axle back about an inch and the SOA, i'm going to be ordering a new d/s because instead of replacing the whole piece of tube, they just welded in a three inch section of tube.

I need some pictures of the yota box- I've begun my SAS finally and want to see what I'm getting myself into.

Track(panhard) bar mounts also please?

Have you finished this? I was looking forward to seeing how it turned out.

More pics of steering box and trac bar setup would be good if you have them. I am doing very similar swap to mine.

How has it held up?

 

[Fusion213]

It worked pretty well and handles at least 90mph. I'm going over to a three link front and one tons because I popped a chromoly front shaft and a chromoly rear shaft.
