    borgeson box

    Its a 99' Explorer block and the rotating assembly is balanced so Im good for now. There are some guys on here that put out a lot more HP using a stock block. I am not interested in taking to the strip but may someday do a dyno to fine tune the timing and air/fuel ratio. I really have no idea...

    borgeson box

    Have you spoke to Gill at Borgeson? He was a straight shooter when I ordered mine so I think if they have an issue with the stock pump or header clearance he would tell you. I have jobber pricing so if you want me to call him email me at [email protected] with your specifics and I...

    borgeson box

    It has a new car feel to it and what I had not expected but am really pleased with is my ability to go faster in tighter spots such as pulling into the driveway. Corrections are so much faster as the car doesnt have to moving to steer it. It may be the best mod to date and I dont have any...

    borgeson box

    I have mine installed using a "fox" Body pump because of my serp. belt so I cant speak to the Dead spot using the stock pump, and dont have that issue with mine. If I can supply you with any pics let me know.

    I have all the power I want... As a matter of fact I have no idea what "numbers" my car is putting out. I will never take it to the track or dyno for that matter. Its my old high school car and now that I am 40 it is what I dreamed of back in the day. I always had a c4 and even with the shift...

    Just for your information the restomod shifter requires no special mods to install and if you want some additional pics let me know.

    When I installed mine I was concerned about the nuetral issue and in fact installed a small button that I had to hold down for the starter to engage. But I later disabled that and now just check to see if its in gear. I have yet to do the speedo yet but there is a guy on Ebay that sells a box to...

    Well I love my automatic in my D.D. but when it come to my weekend ride it needs to be a stick. Even though you didnt give the option of a T56:shrug:

    Yea, my shifter is a much less involved install. Either way you go it's a major improvement.

    '68 side scoop on '66?

    Don't think that's what he meant....I have had the 66' scoops on mine for 12 years now an have never had a break.

    I have the McLeod hyd throw out bearing and really like it's feel but take the time to measure and set it up correctly or you'll be in trouble. And yes the experience talking. I have a 66 so there maybe some differents but I was able to slightly mod the clutch pedal and using a threaded rod...

    Borgeson Box install

    I used the stock column but its been shortened & is mounted very different at the firewall. All of the parts were correct for my 66' and bolted right up.

    Borgeson Box install

    That was one of the major benifits for this swap. I no longer have a spear pointing toward my chest/ head. The use of a rag joint makes it safer but I am unsure as to what else could be done to make it truely collapsable. The stock column was cut off and I did a little more work on mine while...

    Borgeson Box install

    Well leave it to me to tackle a weekend project and have it take 3months to complete..:rolleyes: I have completed the install and all I can say is Wow what a change. I am able to steer the car with one finger as its sitting in my garage. I took it out for a drive yesterday and am very happy...

    Borgeson Box install

    The cars front end parts are all period correct. The steering column tube has to be shortened to allow room for the rag joint. They sell a replacement steering shaft which does allow use of your original steering wheel. I need to read the article I suppose but my install is complete so I don't...

    Borgeson Box install

    Well thats good to know. Other than the Carb hat still being away at the powdercoaters and a strange starting issue I am done with the install. I still have my Mom here after her surgery so time is limited but I hope to finish it up this weekend.

    Borgeson Box install

    Well I had hoped to finish up the installation of the box but after my last post my Mom had chest pains and as a result underwent some serious open heart surgery. She is fine and is recooping at my house:nice: I have it completed but am still waiting on the Carb Hat so I still cant give you guys...
