Werd, this sounds like a weekend car to me, not something to drive through traffic every day. I'd really consider carb on this too (of course mine would have twin turbo's on it as well
)
This is a dumb question , but what kind of modifications have to be done to accomodate power steering when stuffing a Windsor into a fox?
It would take a fairly rare drivers side accessory bracket to mount it up (different than a 5.0 car). I personally would either cut the hoses or find a Ford manual rack (I found 2 in Cophers and nothing wears out on them except for the $5 rubber boots)
Would it make a difference if the donor car was a 4 banger instead of a V8?
If going carb, no. You're going to be replacing the drivetrain anyway with stronger stough.
From a power steering perspective, some 4 cyl and some V8's didn't have the "sport" suspension package that includes the higher ratio "tighter" power rack. Any rack is just a bolt in, but a "sport" power rack has the same ratio as a factory manual rack so if people complain about hard steering with a GT that has a bypassed steering pump, they need help because alot of Fairmonts and early base model stangs steer the same and many are driven by old women
