according to the official v6 to v8 thread on here, the power steering IS compatible. I however converted to hydroboost at the same time so i cant be 100% positive.

Motor itself should run between 600-1000 (depends on where you get it, the condition its in, the miles, etc...)
I was reading this thread and I saw you said 600 to 1000 for the 6.0 I was wondering where you got that price from because I've seen them for a lot more than that?
