Steering box ratios

[Zoliaster]

I've read about changing the steering box to the XH box of the f-bodys. I thought that the box on the 87 GN was the same faster ratio but just lacked the stops. Can anyone confirm this?

The only difference is the stops, and possibly the effort settings, as far as I know. The GN has the fast steering. If you were to goggle around maybe you could find the difference in turning radius between the F and G body to find out how much of a difference there is in the stops. I looked at all this at one time, and just didn't see any reason to change. You can get your box rebuilt, and have the effort changed if you want, I forget the company that does it, but goggling should turn it up.
