Wow - if Ames sells the Borgeson 800130 box for $269 that's an awesome deal!

Yep, X3 on Schurkey.
When we ordered our Box from Lee, my son did it online. He didn't know if it was for the A-body or a 'Bird. I called them and asked about it and initially the guy I spoke with didn't grasp the issue. I would't let it go until he understood that it needed to be written on the order. We already had a "quick ratio" F-body steering gear in the Tempest. It was not fun at times. Driving around was way better, but we couldn't even get into our city driveway in one try.

Yep that's something that has to be paid attention to and some companies selling boxes don't seem to grasp that and don't differentiate in there ads.

I have several spare boxes that are close ratio. The one I wanted to try in my a-body was an f-body quick box.
Like you said driving was nice but turning radius was reduced significantly to a point it became a pain to maneuver parking lots and tight areas when parking. It quickly came back off.
