A relatively easy power steering upgrade is a Borgeson kit.  It utilizes the stock components from manual steering.  It does require modification to the steering shaft including a MS steering shaft bearing kit.  I never priced out a stock system but I think the Borg box is a cleaner install - no rams, etc.

Another interesting option is the electric power steering recently discussed on this site.  No pump or hoses and the cost is in the same ballpark as the Borgeson.  Unless you are a stickler for originality (I guess if you were, you'd still be running a 6 cylinder), I would go with either of these systems over original.

Al has a good point.  From your post I assumed that since you said you had upgraded your suspension you had already done the V8 swap.  If you have not swapped out everything including spindles and other items that Al mentioned, you need to start there.  There is no good way to stick with the 6 cylinder compoents with a V8.
