There's still a little bit of wandering so I might tighten it up a little more and see how it goes. Saw something about swapping to a Jeep XJ steering shaft to remove the rag joint so that's on my short list of things to do as well. Really want to get the steering/wandering sorted out before I even think about pursuing the engine swap.

Be sure to check the frame where the steering box bolts to. Very common place for cracking and will cause wandering steering as well as the frame flexes.
