I purchased the Flaming River unit to install on my 70 Boss clone. Very nice component, sturdy, with extra accessory button/dial to control the amount of power assist. I will install it next Spring or Summer 2014.

When I get to the Coyote conversion. The DOHC 5.0 doesnt have a PS pump on its accessories from the factory. One method that will practical is usung and electric powered pump from a Toyota MR-2. O'course if someone is adapting a Ford unit, that would be better. All a part of decyphering the Coyote's ECU.

I read somewhere on the old interweb that the Saturn VUE has an under the dash setup. I was chasing the idea and found a web site where someone was selling a controller for the VUE steering column. They used the column down to the firewall and then transition to a shaft/universal joint. The controller allowed you to adjust the amount of assist. Do some googling and you should be able to come up with it.

Here is a start

Just curious about elec steering. I know honda civics have a similar elec rac to the j cars only is has a wider spread on where the tie rods attach and it's rear steer with very close turn radious

I've looked at that one (Honda Civic) several years ago and the motor and related parts on it might be a problem as it's kind of huge. The inner tie rods are attached as close as they are on the GM J-car r&p, so there's unfortunately nothing to win there. Here's how it looks:


 

MS the sites Kstang list is pretty much the same information as was on the TFFN site. They were using the controller from ebay and the steering unit from a Vue or Saturn and mating it to the Falcon.

 I'll have to go look for one of those, or send the wrecking yard sleuth Ramses to find a couple.  His 66 needs PS as does my 69 T5.

Here is a link to a Brand-X site but the info seems real good.

Go to the Camaro Page, then to page 18 and scroll almost to bottom of the page. This guy is using a Saturn Vue steering column that he says he bought for $40.00 plus a UK electronic controller for the steering sensitivity control. Link below

Hope this helps.

I recently installed electric power steering in a 1966 Mustang. I did not use a kit, I simply pulled a column style EPS from a newer GM vehicle and then spliced the unit into the original steering column.

The results far exceeded my expectations and the cost was less than $200. I designed a controller that automatically adjusts assist level based on vehicle speed, so that the steering feel is "just right" regardless of speed.

I documented (with pictures) how I went about this on a Vintage Mustang forum. If anyone is interested do a google search for "Best $200 mod ever (EPS)"

 or
