I got in a debate with a know it all at work today. I love proving him wrong, but this time I just don't know the answer.

Is there any difference in the shock towers and/or steering boxes on the big block Cougars and Mooses?

It all started with a discussion on trans gender cars...you know...a Ford with a Chevy engine

Totally kidding Leon, I actually mentioned you in the discussion as well as Chuck on Street Outlaws with the little baddass Fox body Moose with small block Chevy engine.

All the 68-70 Cougars have the reinforced shock towers. AFAIK only the BB Mustangs got these. Steering boxes are the same 289-428 on Cougars, maybe Mustang had a different ratio but I doubt it.

so '67 Cougar did NOT have the reinforced shock towers? Not even on the 390 cars?

Only 390 cars in 67.
