Might have to do a lot with the steering are differences.
That 2nd gen arm is epic.
Plus the different castor setting.

Just use the GTO parts, pitman arm, steering shaft and hose. Not sure if the 80 TA box is metric so you may want to look into that.

IIRC, F-body boxes do have different ratios & steering stops. IROC/WS6 "XH" boxes have closer stops & higher ratios than standard F-body boxes.
