Look in the archives. I asked the same question about 6 months or so ago.
The info I got was that there is a way but it eluded me. There is going to
be a tight fit if it works, very tight fit and I think one of the keys
would have been to play with your motor mount position with the engine
(with manifols attached) in position. I ended up going with the power
steering conversion using the '72 2 wd chevy pick up kit sold by most of
the venders. However, I have kept my stock steering column and outer tube
by cutting off the old box where it enters the box. You will then have to
cut it back towards the firewall to accomodate your sterring linkage. I
used the linkage from an older Jeep because it attaches nocely to the old
sterring rod and the '72 box.
If you need any more particulars, I will be happy to try and provide them.
