Go back to the first page when you log on and click on Tech Articles. Read Jim Culver's article on the same swap. Have fun~~~~~Ron

i appreciate the info ron,but i was interested in installing a worm and roller type gear.i found a post earlier on in your forum that related to installing a gear from o 69 mustang or cougar that boltred in with a small amount of effort,except for drilling one hole in the frame.i was wondering if anyone had tryed it recently;thanksfor any info;i just don't want to blow $450 on a gear that won't fit

A box out of a 59 Ford will bolt in.

This sounds interesting.Can you give a little more info.Are you using the complete column or just the box?Mark

the plan is to use aflaming river tilt column and attach it to a manual gear with a short pinion shaft,example would be flaming rivers mustang gear with the 1" sector shaft.
