i have a 72 ss we gutted the car completly and i would like to upgrade the stering on it. i'm open to any ideas or suggestions. hoping to hear some stuff thats been done before for a reasonable amount of $$$$$

 

Get an IROC-Z steering gear and throw in there and itll handle like its on rails.

We put one in my dads 71 SS 396 Chevelle and it worked great!

 

sweet...did you have to costumize anything. all i need is the gear?? and do those have rac and pinion stering??

 

how about a manual stearing box. what kind of box can i get it out of.

 

He had to take it apart and put in different stops b/c the Camaro and Chevelle inner fender wells are different so the tires wouldnt rub,but that was it.

No,its not a rack and pinion steering,thats in the 4th gens.

You can get a manual box out an any same generation Camaro,an S10 box will work but you have to get a different pitman arm though.

But if your looking for good handling,I highly recommend that IROC-Z steering gear (steering gear box) and some bigger sway bars.
