Back in the 80's I read a book about a spaceship found floating in space with the dead body of the pilot still in it, but the pilots consciousness has melded with his ship, and a plan is formed to try to repeat the accident. The cover of the book was of the pilots skeleton inside the shattered cockpit of his ship.
Can anyone help me, Please!
 
It sounds like Forever Man by Gordon Dickson.

From the back cover:

"An ancient starship is found adrift in space, damaged by alien Laagi warships. The voice of its pilot still survives- a mind merged with the ship itself.
Now, Earth's scientists attempt to duplicate the feat."

The cover of my copy shows a wreck floating space, no skeleton. It has been reprinted so it may have a different cover.

Ace book 0-441-24713-x for the original ISBN
