Default "Modern Rack Feel" Steering Box on EBAY, Any Good?

Has anyone bought one of these? Looks and sounds good but hoping someone has some experience with it. The price is right.....

the price is outrageous! go to your local store and ask for a cardone reman box for mid '80s iroc/ws-6 replacements. if you don't care about price, and you want the best, call lee manufacturing and order a custom one for your setup.

I'm doing a conversion right now, ATSCO '85 IROC box, new custom hoses, and a new Borgeson rag joint and I have about $250 into it. And I'll get $30 back on the core. ATSCO is a rebuilder out here in Phoenix. I dropped the old box out in less than an hour, hope to get home from work at a decent hour and get the new one in tomorrow.

I'll have to let you know in a few months. CPP (classic performance products) is a good company and the internet had some positive reviews to this steering box and I was doing a hydroboost conversion anyway so I thought what the heck. It's still sitting on my workbench waiting to be installed and for all the snow to go away (May).
