You can put in a 93-98 GC box either rebuilt from a part store or from a salvage yard. You then need a new rag joint and some cheap fittings (which can be found here, http://lee-powersteering.com/rebuild-misc.htm )

Can be pretty cheap if you do the salvage yard route or maybe $150 if you buy from part stores. All-in-all, it provides a much more firm steering feel which helps when you are at highway speeds.

I've done this JGC conversion on about a dozen Chevelles...including the '66 Sedan presently in my shop.
Awesome swap!!
The box MUST be from a '93-98 Jeep GRAND CHEROKEE only!! And the rag joint needed is P/N Lares 200 found @ Advance Auto.

Forgot to mention, some gearbox's allow fewer turns lock to lock such as the Camaro gearbox from that era. Outside is the same, same gear ratio and is a direct bolt in, except for the internal stops allow fewer number of turns lock to lock. If you use one of those it will limit how far you can turn the wheel on a Chevelle, no more sharp turns while trying to park, etc. So be careful.
