I very nearly went the electric pump route on my FC build as the belt powered power steering pump on the isuzu clashed with the chassis. But the 30-50amp current draw swayed me away. With this, a decent thermo fan, plus lights etc, I was going to need a serious alternator upgrade. I ended up modifying the bracket to make the OEM pump work.
Was very tempting though. Even so I could spool it up to test the power steering system. Where as I'll now have to wait months until I get the engine running....
