I promise I'll give it back when I'm done!

My '70 has a '76 454 "long water pump" motor, with that motors' P/S bracket and pump still attached.

Have a P/S box and arm to convert. Understand the OE BB bracket, pump and reservoir are way different? Will this '76 pump work with the OE bracket?

Are there other alternatives? Aftermarket bracket for newer style pump?

Why convert it the long water pump p/s box and bracket will all still bolt right up and you can get the hoses which are the same, GM used the same Power steering gear box up til like mid 85? Cheaper to use what you have unless your trying to convert all to original swp style.
