Default Power Steering Upgrade

The new issue of VETTE (March 2002) has an article on an updated '63 split window coupe. The car has been updated quite abit (disc brakes, 91 L98, etc) and has "a mid-80s GM integrally boosted power steering box". The article goes on to say that one of his "favorite enhancements was when he managed to transplant the internally boosted, quick-ratio steering box from a later GM car into the '63". Anyone else made this change? Was wondering how hard it would be to do.
