I think it does need moving. just over to the right to make space. Have you got your steering box adaptor? it needs to be a wedge to mount the steering box to your SJ's chassis.

This thread from difflock may help, its all about 1.6 engine transplant and P/S from a Vitara

Cheers for that

I'm thinking about making the adaptors and pulley, Access to Machine shop etc better than forking out £200 odd for kit. Going to go for somthing which adapts the bolt holes rather than drill new ones through chassis

Well

Taking the dimensions from the link sami and box have made a nice solid wedge for the adaptor, need to find a local fastener supplier who will have M12 metric fine Nylocks coz thats what the stud fixing are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :P
