New Hemi Swap with Borgeson Steering Box?

With respect to the OP, (I believe he got the answers he was looking for) I do not wish to get involved in any drama here. But to clarify, my remarks regard no one in particular, but ALL of us who think we're going to actually get good fitting components for modifying all these old cars. There's way too many variables for them to be able to satisfy everyone. I'm amazed (and grateful) they continue to try.

Uhcoog1, I don't have the slightest clue how you can twist around what I posted and get all offended and say I called your build a mess. My build is not a "show car" as you interpreted, but I won't be thrashing it on a road race course, so I'm probably a little more concerned about having to dent tubes, etc to make it all fit.

I hated having to do that type of thing when I was young but I had no choice because I had not yet acquired the skills or the equipment to build stuff myself. I refuse to do that on what will be the last car I build. I just want a super clean finished result. Neither of us are wrong for how we're building our cars. Nice Duster by the way. Especially love the perfect stance and the cool injection.

Couple things you said bothered me.

You say I'm expecting too much from TTI. No, I expect a 'better' product than what a first time header builder can do. You see, I built a set of headers for my 5.7 heads. And they fit AROUND THE FACTORY POWER STEERING BOX. Sure, it was tight, but I had clearance, and a borgeson box is smaller, so TTI has more breathing/error room.

I don't mind denting headers to clear minimal interference. I mind denting headers in half trying to clear the very box they are designed to fit.

Also, thanks for calling my build a mess. I take offense to that.

I built my car to road race. The factory suspension is great for road racing, and has great geometry. I chose factory suspension for this reason- because it is superior to any aftermarket coil over conversion for my purposes. My build does everything I want, and it does it well.

At the end of the day, I greatly respect your show car build. I ask that you would at a minimum not insult everyone else's , as everyone has a different set of priorities on their build.

One last thing: mine doesn't rattle or vibrate, even when passing half my run group on the road course (miatas, bmw's, mustangs, wrx, and grand sport corvette).
