Steering box to use with Ridetech

[Chev67]

I am in the process of installing a full coil over package with Truturn from ridetech on my 69 Camaro. I was wondering what steering box is the best to use with this setup. Primarily going to be a street car.

Get a Lee 670 box, they can spec one that will work for your exact application and are the go to people for 670 boxes.

Keep us posted on the install. I just purchased the whole coilover, a-arm, 4link, and truturn kit.

Thanks for the info on the steering box.

I think that Speed Tech stocks the Lee 670 boxes, might give them a jingle.

Thanks. Does the 670 box give you more room for headers or an LS swap?

I'm in the same boat right now too. I thought I heard that we could have our stock boxes rebuilt by Lee to match any steering ratio and valving. That way we don't have to replace rag joint and lines(if in good shape of course). What make the 670 better then what I described above.

[SLO_Z28]

The 670 box is smaller and lighter than a 800 box. Getting your 800 box rebuilt by Lee is also a very good option.

I have a Lee Steering Gear on my dirt modified. When I was building the car, I called Lee and talked to the man himself. Customer service was exceptional.

UMI's '72 LeMans is in line for a Lee over the summer...

how much lighter? Also does all the linkage line up when switching to a 670?
Thanks in advance for the info!!

For a street car if you're looking to save some money you can always try a remanufactured IROC or WS-6 steering box. I put one in my 68 and have no complaints at all. The steering feels nearly identical to my IROC, providing just enough boost but not too much that it takes away from steering feel. I used Russell o-ring to -6 AN adapters and ran AN line for the pressure and return.
