Technical Steering box questions

I’m building a v8 car on a model a chassis and was wondering about using an early mustang steering box as apposed to a reverse corvair or a Vega box . Has anyone done this and your results ? Is this a good choice for a box or were they junk? Or not good for a heavy front end?

 

Back in the 70"s they were common.Mounted to steer the front left wheel. Pete,and Jake may yet sell the bracket.Mostly used with a 4 bar front end.

 

Could I use this with a hair pin and drop axle set up?

 

Use a Vega box in a cross steer setup. See Pete and Jakes website. A side steer setup is going to go you fits when it comes to locating the box while keeping the geometry correct.

 

I'm running a Mustang in my Deuce roadster. Running a sbc and clearance is good. Corvairs are a good fit but be careful as a friend of mine had a Corvair box and the aluminum housing cracked. If I did it over again I would have considered a fifties F-100 box and steering. I see a ton of Vega boxes out there and they great as long as there is clearance with the power plant your using.
