Borgeson box in a 72 charger

[3sloppydogs]

hey guys my engine is out for a couple reasons. So now is the time to change the box due to a leak. I'm thinking of a borgeson box for header clearance because I would like more of it.
Do you guys that have these boxes like them for street use?

Yes. You are not the first. Tons of info available on this.

Depends on your headers. My driver side header would NOT clear the Borgeson box. It did clear the stock box. If you have headers like I had, you can forget trying to run them with the Borgeson. Make sure your #1 tube is nowhere near the Borgeson box. It needs to run straight back, not down and back like mine did. I installed HP manifolds instead.

Can’t really comment much on the steering feel other than it’s firmer and you’re not having to make the constant little steering corrections that are needed with the stock system. I just haven’t been able to drive the car enough for full commentary on the Borgeson system. My car has too many other issues that I’m still working on.
