Default Puttin in power steering?

How hard is it? I'm lookin at this fox and it all seems good cept it has no power steering. I asked the guy about it and he saidallI need is the pump and belt. All the lines are there, they are just looped back into the rack. With this in mind can someone give me an idea of how hard it would be to put PS in again and a ball park figure on cost?

Thanks,
Tony

you will need a bracket, pump, maybe lines if the ones are not bad.. but overall easy job, cost around 60.00 for pump, bracket 40.00 ebay, lines give or take 30.00..

Easy? All the lines are a massive PITA to deal with unless the engine is out. And getting a pump that isn't shot out of the box (like the oem ford ones) for $60 is quite the feat!

Anyhow, I'd say its a worth while upgrade, but I wouldn't say its "easy". Probably about on par with installing a clutch by the time everything is said and done (weekend job for most hobbiests).
