I was looking at the complete kit from Jegs but I’m open to suggestions. It’s the same kit I found on the Borgeson website but I could use a promo code and also free shipping. It comes with the new gearbox, pump, lines, and the coupler.
I don't mean to be rude but the Borgeson swap is one of the more popular upgrades that is done to these cars. This forum is CHOCK full of other threads that cover this. You can do a search of the forum for BORGESON and several threads will pop up.
In short, YES you can use the stock pump IF it...
...The Firm feel st3 got the feeling like a modern car and i felt more connected to the vehicle movements. (I dont have fast ratio arms.)
The Borgeson was nice but a tad on the light side for my taste. Now after shimming it feels awsome, more fun to drive.
People on forums have shimmed their...
Thought I'd add this to your thread before I start my own Borgeson swap. No doubt I'll end up back here for reference and to annoy you with questions..
Borgeson Power Steering Box Troubleshooting
Time to install the Borgeson unit in my 68 Charger.
My car has the full package of subframes, ias shocks, hotchkis front and rear set, boxed lcas etc etc
....and a FF st3 box.
It ran like a gocart, the most enjoyable car I has ever driven.

Just did a friends 1979 Magnum with a Borgeson conversion from Bergman , this one had the Saginaw pump and Peter fixed me up with everything required. The difference was well worth the investment.
I drove my 67 charger project for the first time tonight. 6.4 crate motor, Holly terminator x max system, holley 12.3 digital dash, borgeson stearing box, vintage air, 727 with gear vendors, 4.10 gears.....
I only went a half mile down the road and back, but man....I'm still smiling!
The Borgeson is a simpler and better way to go. Contact Peter Bergman at Bergman Auto Craft. He sells a complete kit that requires no modifications to work. He is a sponsor of this site. I've done 2 installations of these steering boxes ( that were bought from BAC) in these cars....

Post-installation and drive report - success! No issues. Drives great and I'm very happy.
So after Kern Dog installed the latest generation Borgeson steering box in his '70 Charger and gave it the thumbs up, I bought one for my '68 Satellite. Since KD had just installed his and had some free...
Nice. Welcome from the central coast of Cal. If you decide to go Borgeson, get it from Peter at BAC. One of our sponsors here and you'll get EVERYTHING you need for the swap. Unlike many other sellers.
Theoretically a 71 Roadrunner with a firm feel/Borgeson 14:1 steering box, boxed lowers tubular uppers and poly bushings with bigger torsion bars and big sway bars front & rear vs a new M3? which owuld handle better?
When you received your new steering box, did you get the needed fittings for the lines? If not, thats another reason to contact Peter.
Swapping a Borgeson steering box in a 1970 Charger
Thanks for sharing. I have a borgeson on my 67 Belvedere just installed. About 100 miles so far, I’m with Kerndog this is an amazing upgrade. The flaming river box that was on before was sloppy and felt over boosted.
