Which steering box for B Body?
I have a leaking stock steering box in my 70 RR.
Option 1. Replace with Borgeson smaller and 15 lbs.lighter 14:1 ratio box and Bergman coupler. Bergman sells the complete conversion for $836.10 . N/I shipping. No core required. No header issues. May need to cut steering shaft to fit coupler. Option 2. I can either go with the Firm Feel stage 2 or 3 with the quick ratio kit to bring it to 12:1. All for around $580 N/I shipping. Shipping core back to them or send them mine first. Some header issues. Option 3. Buy a rebuilt unit from local parts store and install quick ratio kit. Local core and some header issues. Quick ratio kit would be the Proforged 116-10026 Firm Feel and Hotchkis are about $100 more. Some have said the Proforged is the same as the Hotchkis. What are your thoughts fellas? |
Just my 2 cents.... Quit-A-Few folks like the Firm Feel replacement's. Check the warranty also... Might make a difference.
I have a question.... Are you the guy that picked up MadDarts car off another site? I'm just wounding? |
Nope, not me

Vit C -
I'm using the Firmfeel #2, and it works really well, but the entire suspension is FF now. Archer |
The Bergman Borgeson kit has a 3 year warranty and if you want to get crazy, you can still add the fast ratio pitman arm idle kit. Kinda leaning with this direction since it is a newer design steering box and it's smaller., no cutting with the new coupler design.
