Cuda upgrade to power steering & disc power brakes

[Cudakev70]

Howdy! Seeking info to convert to PS & PB's, disc. I am NOT a motorhead, just drive it & looking for input on what to purchase. I have a mechanic that will install. Would sincerely appreciate support. Txs in advance!

Both conversions are not too difficult with stock parts. For power steering, you'll need a power steering pump, brackets to mount it to the engine and may need a crankshaft pulley with an additional belt drive. You'll need a power steering gearbox and hoses to connect to the pump.

For power brakes, you'll need a power brake booster and compatible master cylinder. You'll likely need brake lines that will properly connect to the relocated master cylinder. Also need a vacuum line that connects the intake manifold to the booster. Not real sure of the 340 intake setup, so don't know what already exists.

I'd look at Dr Diff for the brakes, I'd suggest going without a booster, not really needed.

One thing to keep in mind. What you are going to do might require 15" wheels

Is the steering column different manual vs power? I recall reading about different lengths.

YES and No. It can be lengthen or shorten and cup is different.
Steering column too short for gear box

Try Peter Bergman for the steering and Dr Diff for the brakes.
Both have a good reputation.

The Doctor Diff Stage 2 kit includes the caliper brackets for the larger 11.75" rotors (commonly called 12" rotors).
You will need 15" wheels as @Challenger RTA noted above and the spindles to accept the the larger caliper brackets if you do not have those.
Here are the photos of the Stage 2 kit and the larger caliper bracket. The site has a minor issue with displaying the product photos.

If 15" wheels are not in your plan, select the Stage 1 kit with the smaller rotors (10.95").

Just put a borgeson PS kit in mine. Haven’t driven it yet but install was very easy. Smaller footprint and looks clean, plus quick ratio so no messing with the pitman arm.
