567 steering box update

[johns2000]

I took the wagon for a short test drive and love the 567 power steering box so far. Will post more info when I get some serious miles on it but I love the fact that you retain your turning radius compared to the R/P system that's out there.

Same here..... I like the 567 box on my Custom 300

567 Steering Box? Can you expand on this, what is this offering who suppliess, any Pics???

[johns2000]

ABS brakes if I remember right, I thought I put pic's here somewhere, search my post's. Great unit, no need to change anything except u do have to cut down your steering column but I went with upgraded column anyway and add a saginaw power steering pump which can be had at any junk yard or new for $60.

Yes, ABS Brakes has the 567 box. I also have this unit and I really like it.

Does the stock pitman arm bolt up?  Does it take up more or less room than the stock unit?
Thanks, Bill

   They re-splined  mine to match and it is slightly bigger but not much. I have a 460 BB with headers and have about 1" to spare!!

I just got my new 567 box set in today! It fits great. I have a 460 with Crites headers and mounts. It has about 3/8" clearance to the header tube which is more than the stock box. Now I have to send in the pitman arm for resplining and get the rest of the kit.
Does anybody have any how to's on shortening the stock steering column?

[johns2000]

Can't help u there but Ididit or any of the other places will sell u one any length u want, there reasonable and I love the tilt steering wheel.

Thanks Johns, I'm not a header guy so will run the stock exhaust.  Do they fit as well as the headers?  Have a 460/C-6 ready to go, trying to decide between it and a yet to be obtained Mod motor (4.6 Cobra/MKVIII). 

[johns2000]

If your asking about the stock exhaust I can't say for sure but would think so!! I've always had the headers.
