Default MOPAR magazine

I’m looking for the month and year that one of the MOPAR magazines did. It was a 5.9 junkyard engine/trans swap into a white regular cab Dakota. They tested it at the drag strip. Specifically I interested in the power steering mod with the restrictor they machines to the fluid line going into the power steering pump. If anyone can remember when that was help a old guy out please. It would have had to be MOPAR action or MOPAR muscle. Within the last 8-10 yrs. thank you in advance

I know you can order old issues but i doubt they back that far. And the purpose of a restrictor is to cut down the amount of fluid flow.

Couldn't you do the same thing with a different flow control valve?

I would suppose so as long as it's rated for the pressure.
