Borgeson Power Steering Thoughts....

Not sure on the latest rendition of the borgeson but earlier ones required clearancing for tti’s to fit as the box albeit smaller was actually located in a different position (closer to the column and the engine) than oem. So all these manufacturers that spend time calculating where stock location manual and power steering boxes are for their header R&D is out the window.

I was looking at the boregeson box too but decided to rebuild my oem power steering box and stick with stock. I didn’t like the angle at which the input shaft was to the steering shaft and also didn’t like that I would also likely have to upgrade the power steering from federal to Saginaw as apparently the borg box likes the pressure of the Saginaw. if memory serves i think you need to end up buying a cooler for the power steering pump too as the Borg runs hotter. Some people also complained about the Borg being whiny and or noisy. Cost is Large for a complete borgeson when factoring in the pump, brackets, and cooler that you should run too.

post 5 or 6 shows some issues
Ever use a Borgeson power steering kit for a big block Dart conversion?

I am “almost” 100% certain the first Borgeson boxes were actually a steering gear adapted for a,b e bodies. That’s where the issues were. The ones available now are made for our cars. I had 0 line up issues input or output shafts to factory parts and only had to cut back my steering shaft for their u-joint which is way smaller than the factory chrysler set up. As for the cooler… I added one because my old fluid temps were really high with a factory box (FF#2) and Doug’s headers in my smaller 66 engine bay. The cooler helped but fluid temps got really high due to the proximity of the factory style box and the header. My 72 Demon with PS and 340/ Doug’s not so much so. Anyhow because the Borgeson box is a lot smaller the fluid temps do not climb anywhere near as hot as the factory with headers.
