Default 1965 mustang power steering and brakes

What is involved in converting to power, and since I am thinking of installing new shocks and struts as well, a friend of mine mentioned a touring package.

What are the advantages of this, and what are the benifits?

A early mustang don't have struts factory system power steering can be put together out of parts from npd.The brakes is a little harder but can be done BRAKES .If you want it to handle better monte carlo bar and export brace the cheapest things to buy.Everything else Opentracker Racing Products - Products or you can go coil overs front and rear.

A Monte Carlo bar and a shock tower brace only stiffen up the frame. Money would be better spent on sway bars and some performance shocks. Power steering is involved. All your manual steering linkage is different.
