Action Packed
While the factory cast-iron four-barrel Q-Jet intake manifolds have performed admirably on literally thousands of GM applications—and if you are picking your engine from a used lot to use in a swap, it will likely be so equipped—every last one of them should be torn off the car and thrown in the dumpster.

SNAKE CHARMER
If there is such a thing as an ’03 Cobra sleeper, and we’re not sure there is, this car could easily fill that vacancy. For those who know their Mustangs, the front fascia, hood and rear spoiler are all signs that this is not a car to underestimate. But the ’03 Cobra, mighty as it is, isn’t invincible. So, if you’re prowling the streets or the track in some modded Mach or souped SS, you might see this car and assume you’ve got something for it. You don’t—Ford Racing made sure of that, throwing practically its entire catalog at this car. But if you bought the best Mustang available, and it still isn’t enough for you, Ford Racing has something for you—and this car is living proof.

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.

Borgeson offers hose kits designed for both stock Ford pumps and their Saginaw P/S pump upgrade kits, guaranteeing seamless integration with existing power steering components.
Assembled and tested in the USA using globally sourced components, each Borgeson power steering box promises top-notch quality.
