Default NB power steering Issues

I'm installing a Ford 5.0 in an 2001 NB using Martins kit. The power steering rack has a large banjo connector on the front of the rack and the line runs over the to of the rack that makes the engine install so far forward and high that I can't mount the header on the driver side. Has this been a common problem with the NB and if so what has been the solution? Should I use an NA rack?

Change the hard line to an AN line, and you can run it anywhere you need to for clearance.

Does anyone know the fitting sizes?

I used -4 Teflon lined power steering hose. Call Mark Reynolds at Breeze automotive, he can supply everything you need.
