I have a 66 289 2v parts car w/psteering what parts can i use to make my 68 6cyl 3spd manual steering car a v-8 p steering car i have been told i cannot use any of the power steering parts . I planned on using spindles and rear and motor any suggestions?

Well, the problems are, the front spindles have different spindle geometry than the later generation ('67-'6

and there will probably be some handing issues if you use them (bumpsteer, etc)

I can't think of any parts that will exchange exactly - the pitman arm on the '66 is smaller than the '68, and lots of various little differences will make things not interchange. The PS pump will work for any of them, and the Control Valve should interchange, but not the ram, not the draglink.

Sorry they don't interchange as well as you might hope, but there are a lot of '67-'68 cars out there.

what about the rear will it bolt in or do i have to modify?

The spindles will swap, just get an alignment. They use the same ball joints and tie rods. The rear end is 2" shorter than the 68, or 1" per side. It will bolt in. If your rear wheels are close to the leaf springs now, after the swap they will be closer. Make sure you get correct back spacing wheels.
