What makes a “Firm Feel” box?

[YY1]

I'm sure someone would trade the OP for a "regular" box.

BTW- 80's M body cars had "cop boxes" that are a bit firmer than std but not like a firm feel rebuild.

No, no it is not "simple as" removing the belt.

PS box is WAY more difficult to turn without assist than a manual box.

I was assuming that the op would be planning on changing the box but was just concerned with the brackets and pulleys.

Absolutely. I can’t believe that could even be misunderstood. OBVIOUSLY I’d pick up a non-power box.

"Welded up lowers" is probably what he's referring as welding pre-fab plates to the underside of stock LCA to add rigidity.

Got it. I thought he meant welding the lowers to make them solid or something.

How do you define 'firm'? Criteria?
Firm to Hulk Hogan would probably be 'light'.......

I think some of you guys are either missing the point or not comprehending what I’m saying. The car isn’t at all hard to steer. I’ve run bottom 11 second big block steeet cars with no power steering, no power brakes, and 4 wheel drums. If the car has to have power steering, it should have factory feeling Chrysler power steering. My mindset is; if you want handling and firmer steering, buy a late model car. There is absolutely nothing with the steering and suspension Chrysler developed for these cars. That’s what I’m after. I can easily palm the wheel as it is. I just don’t like the feel.

Jesus, As I said earlier either raise your head or lower the joke threshold cause clearly that one went right over your head...

You asked about a "Firm Feel box" Think about slang for "Box" and why someone would suggest "Marry her young"...
