Cost factor between electric Vs hydraulic is gonna be big.

Why would u wanna do that?

Electric is better while it's working, terribly expensive to repair.

Personally I would rather convert from electric to hydraulic. Lol

My understanding is that a lot of feel is lost on electric power steering anyway.
