Re: SBC Power Steering pump and brackets

Quote:
60's 327 with a long water pump stuck on it is a pain in the keester to fit brackets on. That is usually for the alternator rather than power steering pump though.
Agreed. I ended up fabbing alternator brackets for the '57. PS brackets from late '60s are nice for side engine mount vehicles since they use the two bottom bolts on LH front of block.

I think what I would do as research is go look at mid 70's square body tru cks with small blocks that should have a long pump and see how they are set up.
That's a good choice. The mid '70s trucks use a power steering bracket that bolts through the water pump.

This is 77-81 style pump and brackets:
