Better try to find a pitman arm first , the power steering box uses a different pitman arm . I think they are tough to find . All else is readily available .

Chip charges $325 with a core. $425 without. I got it shipped to oz, but still good value. You can check on his website powersteering.com
3 turns lock to lock.
Yes the pitman arm is a different size, and the rag joint was also. The man rag joint is smaller than the two sizes I know of for the PS boxes. And I know there are two rag joint sizes for PS boxes cos I ordered one and it fit a PS box I had, but it didnt fit the one I got from Chip. I managed to find another rag joint bracket that fit Chips box. I should have just got the rag joint from off Chip so i knew it would fit.
Getting the box off was easy enough - I borrowed one of those wedge forks to release the pitman arm from the centerlink, and a tri-puller to release the pitman arm from the box.
