Borgeson Box and 1 3/4 TTI's pics inside

SLOPAR72 · Aug 1, 2019

If the information with pictures exist on here I never found them so here is the skinny actual and factual.....

K member is position on the motor as it was in the car during my test fit. #3 tube will need some massaging and otherwise it's a fit. The fittings for the pump I have not tried yet but it appears to not be a problem. If you look closely at one of the pictures you will so may 20% of the attachment point for the box through the mounting hole. I will update this thread later on in the weekend after I assault (gently lol) my header tube and get this thing bolted up.

Good on you for sharing the pics and info! Sometimes people get lost in the "it definitely works, saw it on the web." I'm into the gen 3 thing, and, there's supposed to be certain manifolds that go right in, unmodified. I've learned the hard way. I've shared my findings as well. Thanks, again!!

Wow! really tight, i'd be running a p/s cooler for longevity. Thanks for the info.
I wonder even with "modern technology" why did ma MoPar build such a large p/s box to begin with.
Those new boxes are smaller but very simular internally. Why did she build the originals so big and truck like?
They really did not last 200k. They got sloppy at like 40k.

Definitely a PS cooler. I have a nice compact one off a Caddy from the boneyard that should do the job.

There is a member that had all the information but no pictures however it told me just enough to take a chance...

Why TTI thinks nobody will want to run Power steering with a B/RB in an A body is beyond me however Schumacher has made a couple of bucks off that poor business decision making process... Rant done for now lol....

I've seen pics of those boxes on cars and the angle is kinda wonky, puts a little angle in the steering shaft. that said, can you shim the box away from the header a bit? i think that would straighten out the steering shaft angle too...

The header now molested and fitted. Not sure if there is a right way or wrong way to get down with modifying a tube but I used my torch and small press with a socket. 2 sets of hands and maybe 5 or 6 times to make the magic happen. The header easily slides out with the box in place.

The box is not cheaper however I needed to replace mine and it would have been alot of tube massaging to make it happen with the stock box.....
