Borgeson power steering conversion
I know this has been talked about, just a little here.
I am pretty seriously considering this conversion. I have read a few of the corvette forums, and the Borgeson conversion ('63-'82 vette) has very good feedback, on that chassis.
Being that the 'stang conversion is fairly new, and that Z-bar type cars cannot use it, there is really not much in the way of reviews.
Mine is an FE, with a hydraulic clutch, so I am chasing down a ford PS pump and bracket (Borgeson does not have brackets for the saginaw and FE) which the Borgeson rep, I talked to on the phone, said should work alright at 800+ rpm idle (which I have)
He also said that it was a very solid feeling steering, with no center dead spot.
I am anticipating that it will not be quite as good as a rack, but has a certain number of other advantages, if it works.
Price, bump-steer, ground clearance, steering radius, simplicity
If I go ahead with the conversion I'll post the results.
