Im going to be installing full hydro on a sammy buggy with a toy front end soon. I need some input on what you guys are running and how it has been working out for you.
What pump are you running?
What orbital and ram?
And how many turns lock to lock?
I will be puting a ps pump on the 1.6L in the truck and I am planing to run a heavy duty tie rod to the stock steering arms.
The buggae is running a boneyard GM saginaw pump, charlynne orbital and I believe a 1.5" custom length ram from a local hydraulic shop. The cost was still around $600 though. It turns very quick (less than 2 turns). I don't know the valving for the orbital, but a good shop should be able to help you get that figured out. A ram for a toy axle only travels about 4" lock to lock, take this measurement as long as flow info for the pump of choice and how many turns lock to lock you want to have down to a local hydro shop, they will set you up with a correctly vlaved orbital.
Do a search for my name and Full Hydro in the Toy section. I put pics and everything ont erhe.
Good luck.
