I would look at the Lares box. Although it is a metric coupler, that coupler is provided and already installed on the box when you receive it. It also utilizes the stock pressure and return line fittings. As a result it's a drop-in affair.
Nick is likely right that it's actually a 12:1 box. It's much faster than the variable ratio that was in my 69. It's not fly you into the next lane without notice quick though, as I somewhat expected it to be.
My turning radius actually got better with this box over the variable box that the car came with, likely because the Lares box doesn't have internal stops.
