Most folks seem to use the GM columns, but FoMoCo columns work very well.
My friend and I got a Mercury column ( bout circa late 70's - early 80's) that came sans shifter, but with key start and turn signals.
It was an easy adaptation to his Buick V6 powered 1938 Morris (very similar to an Anglia).

The V6 didn't last long.
After I got my 462" Buick powered 32 roadster running, he drove it, liked the HP, went home and four weeks later had a strong running SBC 350 with T-350 in the car.
(A finished car incidentally and he didn't scratch a thing.)

From what I remember about the column it would be about the right length for a Ford thin fender car.

It worked with both engines in the Morris.
