Wow. Just wow. :thumbup:

I want to see a "how to" on this. :D I'd do that mod in a second if I had a better idea how to proceed on the controller side of things. I already have the 16:1 borgeson box, and already added a telescoping borgeson steering shaft and coupler for the box.

This I want to see. While the 275/35/18's I have up front aren't as difficult to deal with as I thought they'd be with the 16:1 box, that little goody would make things down right butter.

How much "boost" does that unit provide? Would 8:1 (borgeson 16:1 and 2:1 quickner) be easier or comparable to the 16:1 by itself? Or maybe 12:1 with a 1.5:1 quickner?

Could you add the motor on the other side of the firewall? Keep the Mopar column in the car and just section the motor into the original steering shaft?

Not sure on how much, but the controller allows you to dial in the amount of adjustment. Since it's designed for a soccer mom SUV, you probably will want less than originally intended anyway.

I don't think you would have the room on the engine side in an A Body. It would depend on how it was mounted, plus master cylinder and brake line clearance most likely.

Unisteer has a complete column with integrated unit available now, but it's around $1,500. They have details on their site on how to integrate the unit into a standard column I believe as well. Flaming River was selling a kit at one time also, but that was like $3,500. Both of them look like they use the same GM parts.
