THEM’S THE BRAKES
There is no other more important system than braking, so when the folks at Baer told us at the SEMA Show that they were finishing up their latest kit—one designed to fit the Ford F-150, as well as the Expedition, Navigator and Navigator 4WD—we wanted to see one installed. Baer has been producing high-?performance braking systems since 1986. The company specializes in high-performance, bolt-on brake systems that radically enhance the ability of the otherwise stock brake systems.

From Vegas with Horsepower
Las Vegas, Nevada, baby! Picture this: the Holley LS Fest West roaring into town like a beast on four wheels, revving up the asphalt at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway from April 26-28, 2024. This shindig ain’t your average car meet; nah, it’s a full-throttle celebration of all things LS engine from GM. You got your gearheads from every corner gathering round, ready to rip it up in Autocross, Drifting, Drag Racing, Off-Road showdowns, and then some. But it’s not just about the racing; it’s about the vibe, man. Folks bonding over their love for LS-powered rides, swapping stories, and soaking in that sweet, sweet automotive culture.

Hot Boats at the Grand National Roadster Show 2025
If you thought the Grand National Roadster Show was just about hot rods and customs, think again. Tucked away in Expo Building 8 was a full-blown horsepower fest on water, with a killer lineup of vintage drag boats, Grand National circle racers, and custom-built speed machines that make as much noise as they do waves. If you love anything that rips, this was the place to be.

Tailored for Ford models from 1965 to 1979, this upgrade brings a new level of driving dynamics, giving enthusiasts the enhanced steering feel, feedback, and responsiveness they’ve been craving. At the heart of this upgrade is the Delphi 600 series integral power steering gearbox. This modern marvel replaces the original steering gearbox, providing precise control and a swift 14:1 steering ratio. Engineered for a direct bolt-on fit, the Borgeson conversion box effortlessly fits into the original mounting spot, eliminating the need to modify the existing power steering linkage, guaranteeing a hassle-free and simple setup.
This upgrade is a perfect match for a range of Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles, including the 1971-1973 Mustangs and other full-size models from 1965 to 1977.
