Power Steering Conversio n Kit 58-64 Chevy SBC

Integrating the Power Steering Conversion Kit 58-64 Chevy SBC into a classic GM passenger car transforms the driving experience by replacing the vague, heavy manual steering with modern precision. This Borgeson 999014 system is engineered around the Delphi 600 series power steering box, a component favored by builders for its internal rack-and-pinion valving. By utilizing a 14:1 ratio, the kit provides a significantly quicker response and superior road feel compared to original equipment, making it a vital upgrade for those seeking to modernize a Small Block Chevy-powered 1958 to 1964 vehicle.

The inclusion of a comprehensive hardware suite ensures that this conversion is more than just a steering box replacement. The kit features a dedicated power steering pump, cast iron steering box, custom brackets, rag joints, and high-pressure lines designed for seamless integration. From a mechanical perspective, the Delphi 600 box is a major upgrade over the older Saginaw designs, offering better directional stability and reduced internal friction. This setup eliminates the common dead spot in the center of the steering wheel, providing a tight, modern steering arc that handles high-speed cruising and tight parking maneuvers with equal competence.

Designed specifically for GM passenger cars equipped with a Small Block Chevy engine, this kit accounts for the spatial constraints of the engine bay. The heavy-duty iron construction of the steering box ensures long-term durability under thermal stress and high-pressure operation. For enthusiasts reviewing technical specifications, the direct-fit nature of the brackets and lines minimizes the need for custom fabrication, though professional alignment is recommended after installation to capitalize on the 14:1 ratio. Whether you are restoring a classic Impala or building a restomod Bel Air, this conversion kit delivers the tactile feedback necessary for a confident driving experience.
