Is there a junk yard quick ratio box that will work well in my 79 Lemans wagon without spending a gazillion $$ making it work??

Though I have not done this conversion on a 79 Lemans, I have put 79-81 WS6 box's in a 66&67 lemans, 69 firebird, and installed a 86 monte 55 box in a 73 lemans.
I would go with the WS6 box as it is a straight "bolt in" item. The monte SS box requires the metric rag joint coiplling (from the Monte's box) as it has a smaller input shaft than the earlier boxes. It also required making up a1/2 metric (for the box side) and 1/2 standard Pwr steering pressure hose. I can't imagine that either box won't bolt into you aplication, but I don't know if the 79 uses the metric input shaft or lines.
