I don't believe in it. My Cobra doesn't need p/s, but I have a guy interested in buying my car and he takes it for a spin and then tells me he likes everything about it but it needs p/s.
My wife drives the car and has no problem what so ever handling it.
I believe the car would be squirrelly at speed.
I even got Maurice to swap the 13" wheel that came with the project to a 15" s/w months ago and that really helped.
Anybody added this or know of the parts that would make this conformable in a big block Ford Unique Cobra?

Just install one of those knobs like truckers use on big rigs and see if he can turn the steering wheel any easier!

Thanks Dennis, Alan, & Phil for your replies, and the confirmation of my own feelings about this.
Alan I didn't have the car up for sale. This person rode in the NAF Cobra I refurbished 2 years ago and had to have one. The owner of that Cobra told him about my build and he got in touch with me. Pulled up in a late model retro T- Bird this Wed. Seemed gung-hoo. So if he hits the number it's his....maybe, still having second thoughts.

What power steering? Pump the front wheels up, higher pressure = easier steering.
