65 barracuda power steering bracket question

[roddin28]

hi
hope anybody can help me out
I'd like to keep my old "steel" power steering pump, but I've a 360ci now and so the original brackets (mout on an ear on the waterpump) are not fitting any more, because the new waterpump doesn't have that ear like the stock 273 -- are there brackets avaidable for the "older" pump to mount it on an LA 360 engine?? or should I change to the "newer" Saginaw --- and would the Saginaw preasure work together with my steering???
thank you

you could consider switching back to the old style waterpump or use a newer steering pump...

The later pump woul be fine but I'm not sure there's room to mount it. Or you could just fab up some plate steel brackets to put your earlier pump in the right spot and attach to the water pump bolts and timing cover bolts like the later pump does. I planned to run the 273 timing cover and iron water pump and re-mark the balancer.
