power steering swap possible???

just wondering if its possible to put power steering on to a 82 e-100 that doesnt have power steering, from like a e150? it looks like every thing should bolt up.

just wondering if it is a possible bolt on?

thanks

In theory, yes, but you are talking about adding pump (engine) etc.

Quite an involved job...

If you have a donor just swap everything. The power steering set up on a 1980s van is not that complicated. The hardest thing will be unbolting the box from the frame.

My only concern would be if the pitman arms are the same. The non-power steering Fords usually had a slightly larger steering wheel too.
