New cheap ebay steering box

well steering box is probably 5-6 lbs heavier than stock aluminum and with my big block and tti headers im running into clearance problems... in my car my headers were insanely close to the stock box so close i already had some dents for stock box and this boxes casting is slightly different... so id say if your clearances weren't super close you'd probably be fine in my case i may have to find another solution
