Borgeson steering box with 440 Dart?

[cuda620]

TTI’s fit good? No denting? Hate to spend 800 or more. Then take a hammer to em. Lol!

Not really . Had to modify the two center tubes on the dr side as well as dent 4 tubes to allow for torsion rod clearance.

Glad I didn’t buy any yet. Thanks!

Have a look on the members restoration page , I have a page with pics of the modified headers

Thanks!

Not trying to hijack the thread but i have a relevant question. Have any of you had to relocate the PS pump with an RB? I've heard the HP manifolds clear the steering column well but i want to make sure all my ducks are in a row before I have to take the engine out 3 or 4 times or let it sit because I'm missing a single part.

The pump has nothing to do with the manifolds, you’ll be just fine.

We've done stock power steering with cast iron B-body manifolds on two 383s. Everything fit fine. A 440 should fit better, but that does depend on the headers. I don't like power brakes on A-bodies so I haven't tried that.

I just did a 400 with the Borgeson and long tube TTi`s

Is this a Borgeson Box? Hard to tell from the photo.

I’m gonna use C body hipo manifolds on my 451. Otta fit fine.

Yes it is

Seems that the 13/4 will fit and the 2” are a problem.

That seems to be the consensus BB A's are always tight.

I want to say the guy that had the blue pro touring 70s dart had 2”headers with the borgeson box.

I think he had a gen 3 hemi.

Looks like the headers were 2" CPPA. The car was a 440 for awhile before he swapped it over to the GenIII hemi.

Power Steering project has begun on my BB

 

[jamesdart]

Yeah bb before Hemi

To me there is nothing like the sex appeal of a big block in an A body. Kim

That's a big part of why I went with a rack and pinion! The real problem will be a brake master cylinder! I plan to make an offset mount!
