I have started and work most of the kinks out of my electric steering assist.
I used a 2009 Nissan Versa electric assist motor, 69 stock auto on the floor steering coulum and 69 stock brake pedal assembly. Included pictures of it installed with I remove for powder coat will take more disassembled.

Please describe how it works or interacts with the steering column your pictures leave a lot to the imagination. I'm guessing your car has a manual steering box to be going this route rather than using a stock power steering box.
 
I am doing a Gen3 Hemi swap. Decided to use a RMS k frame with manual rack and pinion to save space. I got a 2016 5.7 out of a challenger and it doesn't have power steering pump. I saw the other post of the guy doing electric steering assist decided it would be easy. mock up is compete will be removing to take compete pictures of the build.

Thank you I put my stock steering in to mock up the 5.7 and rfe trans. Stock unit is huge! Might try to swing something with a challenger steering unit i have. Again thank you
 
always things on the to-do list

what did everyone else in the HEMI swap thread do?
 
A brand new, 100% bolt-in Thunderbird power rack (for your RMS) is less than $230 (even cheaper on E-Pay)....while I admire your vision and hot rod initiative, I just gotta ask...why? I see you mentioned space?, but it can't be much more than extra 1/4" in radius power vs manual.

Just wondering that's all....

Yeah idk everyone payed up for the good k frames and steering and suspension components that did this swap but there are a few that made some custome stuff fit. DIY header kit cleared the steering, as did a jeep srt manifold. So the stock power steering maybe able to stay. Not that I'm cheap ive spent the cash where I can but i don't have big bucks to endlessly throw at this car. This is why it's taken me 5 months to get to this point and the car is at my dads 20miles away so i work on it basically half of the weekends in that 5 months. I'm proud of what ive done so far.
