Default ls power steering to hydroboost mustang rack setup

Is there an aftermarket set of hoses available for this? Or has anyone ran hydroboost with a ls motor and ford hydroboost setup from a mustang? Any insight?

Borgeson makes swap hoses for fox rack to ls pump but they are universal and dont fit the best but they work and are about 75 bucks. Or you could go get some made.

My fox rack hoses screwed right into the back of the ls pump. Is this wrong?

I used a mustang hydroboost on my LS1 swapped BMW. The lines are all custom, they are aeroquip lines and fittings specifically for P/S. You assemble them just like braided fuel lines. It was expensive but they work and look great.

Please define "expensive". $200? $500? more?

The reason I'm asking is I'm finishing my HB system up now and I'm about to head to a local hydraulic shop for a quote. I have no idea what to expect from them.

5.3/4L60e in a '36 Chevy sedan with factory truck PS pump (pressured lowered with Borgeson shim kit) into a '90 Mustang rack. Hydroboost is from an '04 Yukon.

Rich, you can get the fittings and hose from Jeg's, Summit, or Speedway for a tad over $100... The teflon hose can be a b!tch to assemble if you don't have instructions, but those can be DL'ed from Aeroquip's site...
