O.k. guys, I've got a 402 with a short water pump, and a power steering pump off a '80's something small block truck. I don't have the mounting bracket for the power steering as it was broke when i got it. I thought about changing to the long water pump, but then i would have to buy new pullies as well, and still not be able to mount the steering pump. If i keep the short pump, then would i have to find a different steering pump? Whats everyone using for the new style steering pump brackets? Am i better off to change to the long water pump? And where's the best place to buy brackets, pullies, etc, without giving my left arm and my big toe? Any pics would help also. Thanks guys!
