1985 D150 "Mr. Curtis" race truck with a 2015 6.4
Awesome Build! we've also run into some of the "sticky situations" with the hemi swap. I assume you're aware the LP of the hemi pump is too high for a MII style rack, or a factory steering box. Whats your plans there?, (if you don't mind me asking?) we have been mounting a GM type II typically.
Struck me a few minutes ago:
My 6.4 came without a power steering pump.
It looks like the donor car had EHPS or Electro Hydraulic Power Steering.
This is an electric pump providing the hydraulic pressure for a "regular" hydraulic assisted steering rack. Yay.
So instead of a pump my engine has an idler where the power steering pump would go on a similar engine:
You can see it very clearly on the drivers side of the motor (right side in image) above the A/C-compressor.
I know how to fix this: Mopar RL181778AB 2011-2013 Challenger with 6.4L, just like 340 USD ... used ones seem to be scarce and Rockauto already has the best price for a new OEM Mopar part.
I could sink several tenthousand dollars into this thing right away. I'll try to avoid that...
