Were the original Vega boxes cast iron? That would be the way to go, if you could actually find one... i think i will keep using mine, for now... switching headers, anyway....

How much hassle is it to fit one to the car? I always thought they were a direct bolt on, except pittman arm....

They'll bolt to the frame, but the steering shaft is smaller than the std GM ones..It would need to be adapted.

The other thing I don't know about is the pitman arm when installing on rear steer car I guess it's going on firebird in picture.
My car is front steer and everything lined up except adapt spline,not sure about on rear steer car though

Hey Todd , my camaro doesn't get that death shake with the stock big box . But the cars that do is that a bump steer problem or is it related to other issues ?
