Pressure Reducing Kit GM Pump To Ford Rack

The Pressure Reducing Kit GM Pump To Ford Rack by BORGESON is a specialized adapter system designed for custom power steering installations where GM-sourced pumps must integrate with Ford steering racks. This kit addresses a common challenge faced by engine swap builders, hot rod fabricators, and restoration specialists who combine components from different manufacturers to achieve their desired powertrain configuration. By reducing pump pressure to factory-appropriate levels for Ford rack compatibility, this solution eliminates steering responsiveness issues and protects hydraulic seals from damage caused by oversupply pressure.

The kit functions as an inline pressure regulator, managing flow from GM Type 2 power steering pumps down to pressure specifications suited for Ford rack geometry and valve calibration. BORGESON engineered this adapter to maintain consistent steering feel and control while preventing hydraulic bypass wear that occurs when pump output exceeds system demand. The compact design—measuring just 5.15 inches in length with minimal weight at 0.08 lbs—integrates cleanly into tight engine bays without requiring custom bracket fabrication or line rerouting.

This kit is essential for any builder swapping a GM engine into a Ford-equipped platform, from street rods and muscle car restorations to modern LS conversions in classic chassis. Installation fits standard hose connections without modification, and the pressure regulation operates passively—requiring no electrical input or maintenance once properly installed. Mechanics and enthusiasts who prioritize reliability in mixed-manufacturer builds will find this adapter eliminates steering anomalies while preserving the stock feel of the original Ford rack system.
