Exhaust vs power-steering

Me three...
I would also like to know how much and where the Hemi exactly intereferes with the powersteering box.

I have a similar swap planned and my daily '73 Dart has power steering and brakes. Not willing to give that up without a good fight!
I got myself a 5.7 Hemi yesterday so I'm looking at options aswell.

I'm willing to go with a power Rack&Pinion-system if needed. I'm also willing to fabricate, even make my own headers, but I'm certainly not looking or able to blow the bank on this.

Those holes in the K-member posted in the other topic don't look too reassuring to me. These small A-bodies aren't the most sturdy built cars out there already (I used to C-bodies) and the factory surely didn't overbuilt them. So just cutting holes and removing metal from an important part of the suspension and chassispart and not reinforcing it in other places is not my idea of improving the handling off a car.

An aftermarket K-member is financially out of the question for me so any solution has to work with the stock K-member.
