Recently, I ran the 3k steeple in 9:00, what would be an appropriate guess for a 5k time? (4:10 mile indoors)
I am aware that 3k Steeple time is relative to 2mile time. McMillan Calculator says 9:00 2 mile is equivalent to 14:37 5k.
Personal experiences?
I think 14:45-14:55. I've seen people go faster over the ST than their two mile pace.

These are pretty damn close to my prs (9:03 steeple, 14:35), so I think you're on the right track.
You can calculate and convert as much as you want, you won't know the answer until you actually run the 5K. Conversions are overrated - especially ones that involve the steeplechase since much depends on your hurdling technique. That said, in general, I think that a typical 9:00 steeplechaser would be able to run around 14:30-14:40 in the 5K. (But it sounds like you're more of a miler than a distance runner anyways, so you may not fall into the "typical" category.)

Faster than two mile pace? Do you mean two mile time? And you said I don't know anything...Assuming he is a good steepler, I'd say 14:35 is within range. If you're a bad steepler and just running 9:00 off running ability, more like 14:20.
I agree. I am just looking for a guideline of where my current fitness is at.
i am a pretty proficient hurdler and find that my per km pace is about similar to both. 9:00 ~15
