i've never seen one with power steering but i have seen a few with rack and pinion steering conversions, and my FB Ute with commodore rack conversion and v6 just moving the thing around the backyard and the like while pushing it is very easy, so i doubt you would need power steering.

there is a guy that builds a complete front end for cars and it is power steering maybe you should talk to him

It's not cheap to get one of his front ends

It's like $4000

i think

anyways

And what you will find is anyone running power steering is running a rack... not steering box.

Thanks for the input guys.
I really wanted something factory.
I was at the All Holden day and saw a HR with a steering box and power steering. I was wondering if that may have been factory fitted? If so would it fit my FB?

You could fit one if you could find one , jump on the FE/FC forum and PM tmudie , he had a power steering setup to suit an EH for sale a while back - was asking $1500 for it.
