Power steering

Hi all. Im about to start fitting an M42 engine in my Baur. I havent driven this car at all, so I was wondering if I should think about trying to fit the E36 power rack that is sitting in front of the new engine right now. I suspect not, just idle dreaming !

You could retro fit e21 PAS?

The steering rack from the e36 is on the wrong side of the subframe.

Rephrase the question. does it need power steering, or is that a function of tyre size? Given that the M42 is fairly light, I suspect the rack doesnt need assistance, but seeing as the bits will be available, Iwant to cover the options.
Keep dreaming !

You won't need it

Even with a quicker rack fitted I never felt the need for PAS.

This might help if you're struggling.
