I question whether the steering box is the problem.

Oversteer can be compensated for with sway bars and adjustment of tire pressure and I'd at least look at that before changing the steering box.

There is a torsion rod inside a steering box that affects the feel of a power steering box. If I were wanting to change the feel of one of the Saginaw boxes like yours, I'd look for one with a fatter torsion rod. That could be the Super Sport box but I'd make sure before trying that.

A while back someone pointed me at a number of online articles explaining all these details.

Here are the links, I don't recall which article talked about the torsion rod.
