electric steering for classic mopars

[jordan]

Just saw this on Moparconnectionmagazine.com.  Electric steering for mopars via electric motors on the steering column and a manual steering box.  Looks like less weight.  Could be very cool.  I wonder how front end feedback is?  It says it is adjustable for feel.  I wonder if it is worth the weight advantage.  Saves space in the engine compartment. I like the idea.  I don't see a price.  It is available through Silver Sport Transmissions.  Do i need to get rid of my FF stage 3 box?

Just send that FF box to me... I'll dispose of it for you...  Electric steering swaps have been done for years now, they can work very well...

$1450 to buy the system from SST.

Or you can do what the Mustang/Falcon guys have been doing for years... Buy an assist unit & a controller & do some minor fabricating...

I think that would be a great way to go. Even the GM guys suffer, I priced out a PS setup for a 63 Chev 2 the other day and I told him it was going to cost him $1500 and he would still have the junk Chev 2 front end. It didn't go over well but hey it's the truth.

Those early Nova's had serious geometry issues.... It's bad enough that they are completely wrong but the fact that they are different from side to side only amplifies the problem...   

Buddy of mine did the Church Boys conversion... Big improvement, but the geometry is still wrong...  One those cars the geometry is so bad I can see why guys want to replace it.... Most of the Mopar's are very close & can be made even better so I don't understand the desire to put a Pinto suspension under them...

That's for sure. I did tell this guy the Pinto setup would be an upgrade for his Chev but I would never pull the good stuff out of a Mopar and downgrade it.

I also noticed the article on it. I'm thinking about it.
I have a small block with no PS. If I add every thing, the price goes up closer to the cost of this.
I have a couple of questions.
What happens when it fails? Can you still steer?
Also how hard would it be to remove the Steering Column after the install so that I can work on things like the dash.
