Fairlane guy needs maverick help!!!

hey guys here is my dilema. The 67 ford Fairlane shares a manual gear box with the 77 maverick. I am interested in changing to a quick ratio. 16-1 over the 19-1 ratio. Power steering boxes have the 16-1 ratio. Do any of you guys know what power steering box will drop into the manual box spot? What car does it come out of? Thanks for your help!!!

Re: Fairlane guy needs maverick help!!!

To the best of my knowledge, any maverick or comet with power steering should bolt right up. The manual and power steering boxes in Mavericks use the exact same bolt spacing, shaft location, everything. I have swapped them many many times over the years of messing with about 2 dozen Mavericks. My old turbocharged '74 had a power steering box but I didn't use the power steering cylinder. Also did it on a '73 2 door and a '73 4 door.
