The way it looks in my Chilton book the stock Ford power-steering box should be a bolt in swap. But don't forget all the other stuff, i.e. p/s pump, hoses, belt, mounting bracket for pump, etc. Just an added thought, ask your parts store to show you one of each and compare over-all length, mounting bolts, etc.
