The Borgenson power steering unit is a nice alternative to the original Ford ram style power steering, but does come with some drawbacks. It does not work with a column shift (I have not come up with a solution for this yet) or a stick shift using the original Z-bar. Headers can also be an issue because of the size of the steering box. Another issue is that the steering box is so long that the joint for attaching the steering column is partially inside the car. In this article, I am installing a Borgenson unit in a 64 Falcon wagon which had been converted to a 289/C4 with a floor shift. I am going to show how I do this conversion in 60-65 falcons, as the procedure is the same to address the issues with this installation.
Here is a picture of the original '64 falcon steering box (with steering shaft cut off) and the Borgenson steering box. You can see the differences in the length of the two steering boxes.
