Re: Bracket to move power steering pump?
Dyno, I just stopped by your "engine dude's" shop, and saw one of your 454's sitting on the dyno all hooked up except for headers yet. Lookin' good. Anyway, changing to those cam driven water pumps will cause a stir while "hanging trinkets" (as Crazyhorse says), and will require more/different mods---probably more than what you were bargaining for. I think you're beginning to find out that it's very difficult, and extremely expensive to be like ol' YELLA isn't it son? Most of the time that's what happens when you change from one thing to another---it usually sets off a chain reaction event of modifications---which can be a very time consuming, and expensive lesson-----a real pain in the arss!!! Well----anyway, welcome to the cam driven water pump club!
I don't think I have a very good close up shot of my power steering bracket on my power steering engine, but Dave can make just about anything work. However, I can still post a picture here or if you want come on over, and take a better look at mine and bring your digital camera with you---a picture is worth a thousand words, and might make things a little easier for you. My engines are at Arnie's shop on Chicago Drive waiting for installation.

Don, I found out the same thing. I modified my old water pump bracket to move and fit the power steering pump. I moved the pump to the starboard side of my starboard engine. Looks like it will work great,although I may end up adding a tentioning rod.
