Some interesting reading:

Ebay shows some pretty inexpensive Koyo EPAS columns and there's a guy selling a small circuit which appears to allow one to use the Koyo / Saturn Vue steering column without the normally attached Saturn.

I think I paid about $1500 for mine, not sure. I'm running a 292 with a 4-71 blower, 3 Rochester 2 BBL carbs, crank fired ignition and external oil pump belt driven off crank pulley. My oil pump is on the driver side down low and don't have a lot of room for a pump. Passenger side has alt. and A/C. Space was a factor in my 53 1/2 ton.
