Power Steering Q. (early Cressida)

I know, I don't want to be a post whore, but I figured this was a relevant Tech & Conversions question. This is all in regards to my attempt at a TA-23 w/- 3S-GE conversion.

If anyone has any early (MX-3x ????) Cressida power steering boxes lying around just let me know I'm going to guess that a cressida steering box conversion for a TA-23 will be alot simpler than a steering rack. My current steering box is totally rooted...driving at anything about 40km/h can only be described as hazardous unless you have arms quicker than (pre-death) bruce lee.
Hopefully I'll find a suitable steering box soon enough. Does anyone have any idea if a 3S power steering pump will work with a cressida power steer box? I'm pretty dopey in this area, what do I need to consider when looking for a compatible pump?

I'm more interested in the answer to that last question, I have an ST162 power steering pump lying around spare and I was hoping to save myself some time and cash by using that with the Cressida power steering box (I understand I will need to drill another hole to mount it, and I will have to modify the upper shaft to fit in a TA-23 and use the TA23 lower?).

Well I grabbed the (power) steering box out of an MX-36 Cressida, I'll just experiment myself in regards to whether the pump from an ST162 will suffice (can't see why not!).

Yeah I had a look at that thread before i posted this one...I've just got a spare ST162 power steer pump lying around, so I'm hoping that it'll work with the MX-36 power steer box! Aside from that I'm following a similar pattern (using TA-23 pittman arm although modifying the upper steering column to suit the height difference). But that's the thread were I got the inspiration from
