Yea I didn't think of that when I bought the gearbox I just wanted to put it back orginal. Now I'm second guessing that because of the header situation and the steering pump itself. I may run into troubles there because I have the slant 6 steering pump I bet the brackets are all different.
What do you have to do the knuckle to convert it to manual? I'm pretty sure power vs manual have a different spline on the column where it connects to the gearbox
