351c to 429/460 power steering bracket help

[bowtiebuster]

Hello all, I am converting my 351c equipped 73 to a 460 and am a little stumped on what to do with the power steering mount situation.

Has anyone done this swap and run into this question? Would it be easier to switch to a saginaw pump (429/460 brackets are more readily available it seems)? 

Any advice is appreciated!

Bowtie,

I was able to obtain a set of P/S brackets & pulleys from a late 70's pick up with a 460 for my installation. This set up bolted right up and I used the original 351C pump.

Thanks, Jay

I used the early 70's style bracket for the Ford pump on my 73 Mustang.

Or you can use any number of aftermarket brackets for the saginaw pump.
