    Borgeson Box install

    I have kinda regretted starting this thread and running into all sorts of other projects and business issues that have kept me from completing the install. I took off Monday and have all of the under hood issues resolved and only have to remount the steering column to test it out. Another issue...

    Drivers Side Alternator Mount

    If memory serves me correctly mine is off of an mid 80's LTD. There is some adjustment as the alt. swings over meaning you will not have to have a sprung idler taking up the slack. I am also in the process of installing a Bogesson Box and this mount is perfect since below the alt. is a spot for...

    Borgeson Box install

    Update, The hoses were not the problem and I can only assume I had them backwards so my appologies to Borgeson. I have been extremely busy with work and kids so I have been stuck on finding the correct length serp. belt to complete the install. I will update this as soon as I have the time to...

    Borgeson Box install

    I was hoping to finish up the install last night but the Hose fittings from Borgeson were not correct. I will see if they are available locally and try to finish it up this weekend. As soon as its finished I will give a full report.

    Borgeson Box install

    I received all the parts Last week and had some time to get started on the install and thought I would give a report for those thinking about this upgrade. Keep in mind that my car is a 1966 with manual steering and while I have a T-56 manual I am running a Hyd. clutch. While my busy schedule...

    Borgeson PS Conversion vs Rack&Pinion

    I ordered mine last week and since its the last mod before I put the car into the body shop I hope to install it quickly. Surely there is someone here that has it installed that can give us a heads up.

    I WANT TO UPDATE MY STEERING

    I am ordering my Borgeson Box with the associated shafts and hoses today. I will be in a hurry to install it as the car is going to the body shop soon. I have never done a write up on any of the mods I have done to the car but always keep handwritten notes so If theres any interest in a more...

    T56 clearance in 1968 Mustang

    I found in that lowering the engine wouldn't be possible as my headers already scrape. If you have any floor repairs that need to be done it may warrant looking into. Your use of a 6 cyl. Kinda takes me out of the game. All I can say is mock it up with exh. and see. One things for certain...

    T56 clearance in 1968 Mustang

    I also have a T-56 but its a 66' I agree that theres nothing like the feeling of having 3:70 gears and then being able to use your o/d gears to calm the engine down at 70MPH. unless the 68 has a MUCH different tunnel you will have to cut it to get the angle right. its not that big of a deal as...

    I went to get an estimate today...

    Well Im so unorganized that I just saw one passenger side complete door shell so I think the thing to do is to buy the drivers side shell and I'm only left with the quarter panel replacement. I am thinking about a Dark metallic Silver but the owner of the body shop had a brand new burnt orange...

    I went to get an estimate today...

    I went to get an estimate today...

    Well I am planning to bolt up new door shells so I am left with the quarter panel replacement. I do have air tools and a mig welder but have never welded before so maybe I should bolt up the doors and have the shop do the rest.

    I went to get an estimate today...

    Well I know I have to replace the two door skins along with the driver's 1/4 panel and change the color but I was thinking $5000.00 not $8500.00 I am a mechanic and after building many engines and fitting a Dodge Viper T-56 behind my 347 I feel pretty good about my mechanical ability. As the...

    How much sound deadening (dynamat etc) is needed?

    I did mine with fatmat. Was sold on eBay 3 or 4 years ago when I did mine. Good stuff!

    Borgeson steering box questions

    I am of the same opinion regarding the Bogenson box and really wish we could find someone here that has made this swap. I am not really wanting to loose any turning radius but also dont want to be suprised with installation issues. These 225's are killing me.

    Post them pics!!!!!!

    Its a mid 90's Cadillac Pearl red. When I had it painted back in 95 the bodyman walked out of the paint booth after the first coat and said "It looks like a polished penny". But then the next coats were transparent red and I was very happy when I picked up the car but I am ready for a new look...

    Blinker cancel?

    I broke mine and was wondering if anyone had one or knows where I can get one. I am speaking of the spring steel part that fits tightly to the actual steering wheel. Thanks Cam
