Manual Steering Box Replacement Question

The reason your 383 has manual steering is because the factory couldn't figure out how to fit the power steering unit in with the big block. That's the price you pay for bragging rights. I have 24:1 manual in my SB fastback and yes, it's hard to turn at low speeds with wide tires. My solution is going to the gym. But check out the aftermarket -- maybe someone has a power steering solution for this application.
