Just a follow up - I swapped the manual steering box this weekend. Did not have to jack the motor up, did not have to remove the battery tray. One recommendation from another Hemi RR owner was to remove the dipstick tube. From my experience now I think you have to either remove the tube or jack...

Thanks for the replies over the weekend. I will need to wait a couple more weeks before doing the swap. According to the FSM, it looks like a much easier job for SB and BB cars... Dropping the K frame sounds interesting but most likely would have to pull the torsion bars first? And then figure...

Need to swap out the manual steering box on my 68 Hemi Road Runner. The FSM is recommending to remove battery and tray and jack the driver's side engine mount up a bit. The car is on a 4-post lift. Any other tips/tricks to remove/replace the unit?

Under the hood

Interesting thing on this RR was that it was fairly late (May 68) build as a post car without the décor package.

I used to post on Moparts pretty regular during the restoration but now mostly just the 68RR topics. This is the finished car.

68 Road Runner with 12K on the odo. Finished the restoration a few years ago. I have owned this car for 23 years. PP1 Red with the black and silver interior. Car was bought new in the Buffalo, NY area and was raced in Super Stock back in the day. It was raced for a few years then parked.
