Turns out I need to use the Type II box since the Saginaw pump will not fit with the motor mount that I'm using. The outlet port runs right into the motor mount and there is no easy fix that I can see. What are those there shorty headers? I would guess its a set of these: https://www.engine-swaps.com/Pages/ProductsType/BRB_Headers.html

My Borgseon box was angled deadstraight when installed at first (small sectorshaft but '73 K-member/Dart). But after I installed Doug's headers a few years later I had move the engine and P/S around a bit to have the (stock) steeringcoupler clear the nr. 7 exhausttube. It's at a very slight angle now.

Installed in our Ebody, 5 plus years ago. Like now, but one hell of an adventure to get it dialed. Do a search on Borgeson and read some of the older threads. Also put one in wife’s 55 T Bird. Another adventure as they had never offered a system for the Bird. Adapted a full size Ford unit to the Bird. Works well Could you elaborate on what you mean by "adventure"?

Installation was a real pita. After many weeks finally came up with shimming of box in order to get proper toe alignment. Borgeson tech support was let me put it politely,,,,less than adequate. It was always user error until I discovered their real problem which was in machining and jigs to attach mounting ears. Subsequently others found exact same issues. Once shim was created an installed, all was ok. I did a search for my old threads. For some reason only found going back to 2016. Those from 2014 til then are not listed. This is where main adventure and photos were. This url will show some of my thread,,,,but only those 2016 or later. They are listed by my handle. https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/ubb/dosearch/topic/0/Searchpage/8.html

Anyway is the box you are using the welded or cast one?
