Got our new Turnkey Engine factory Power steering system on order this week. Should be here in about a week and a half.

Until then we will be finishing up the firewall and rasing the tunnel ever so slightly just to be sure we have enough driveshaft clearance. When the power steering assembly comes we will mount it up and then mocking up a cardboard radiator.

Nice - I was hoping to see someone pick up the Turnkey Coyote PS setup! I'll be really interested to hear how it works out for you. I'm making plans to use one of these engines in a project I'm working on, and the PS pump issue hasn't been dealt with very well so far by the aftermarket (or Ford) IMO. Did you get their 'full' system with the KRC pump and their AC setup? I'd probably be more likely to attempt to duplicate theirs, but it's the kind of solution I've been looking for...

Yes. we will be recieving the whole system. Gotta have A/C in a Driver!

The guys at Goolsby customs are going to be putting the kit on there 71 Pegasus mustang. So i am waiting to here how they like it when they get it on. I also heard that vintage air will be coming out with one also. When i saw the turnkey setup at sema i was very impressed! Its not the cheapest route but its something that will work and has a great company behind it.
