Try searching for EPAS on corner-carvers.com and that should lead you to the epic vintage mustang thread on the subject. Although if you, like me, are using hydraboost, you are still stuck with needing a pump so moot point I guess.
      I read that thread of the swap on the vintage mustang forum. It is a great thread. I believe someone also found a way without having to use the Bruno box by using a Prius system. If I didn't already have a power steering rack and also the hydroboost like you mentioned, it would be something I would definitely look into.

      They seem to be a popular swap lately for drift, autox, etc. and they all report the steering being super light. If we remember correctly, you can also attach a speed signal input to turn the pump off at higher speeds, which is a nifty little feature.

      I did read about using the speed signal input. Just haven't found what type of signal it's looking for like pulses, square/sine wave, etc. I figured when I get ready to install the pump I'll look research more.

      Some minor updates to my build. I received the custom covers for my coyote conversion. Still need to decide how I want them finished.

      I've been lacking on updates because I haven't had much time to work on the car, but the shell is at the body shop now to prep the car for my upcoming engagement photos. Of course it took a major life event to light a fire, but it's getting there.



      Car at media blast. It showed good and bad. I was surprised to find out that the car was originally a vinyl top car. The good, the roof wasn't rotted out like other vinyl top cars. The bad, the quarter panel was replaced sometime in it's life, but the repair work is subpar. The body shop will work with it since quarter panels are hard to find.





      Car after epoxy showed even more dings I didn't see when the car was out in the light.





      One of the subtle changes. Added a GT-E "esque" cougar hood scoop. It will look similar the g-force cougar hood scoop.



      I also managed to find 18" wheels that fit my car and clear the monster 15" rotors from the gt500 brakes I'm using.

      A few more updates. Body shop laid out the stripes, painted them, and cleared the car.

      Robbie, unfortunately I haven't touched the car since the engagement photos. I was completing the build on my brother's 66 mustang so I could use it in the wedding. His car was a lot closer to finishing than my cougar was. Plus I needed a red car for the wedding.

      It will be a custom 3-link with watts link for the rear suspension.

      I am sure you have answered tis at some point in this thread, but what independent front suspension kit did you use on this setup? Is this a Total cost involved setup?
