Replacing B.B. Hydroboost p.s. pump with regulat style pump. Bracket question
fitz:
I have a 1987 454 with a hydoboost power steering pump.
Looking to replace the pump with a non hydroboost pump.
Will the old brackets work with the new pump?
Thanks.
VileZambonie:
Why do you need to change the pump? Are you eliminating hydro-boost and installing a vacuum system instead? Bracketry may need modification, does your truck have the remote reservoir, serpentine belt with steel brackets?
fitz:
The 454 is from a 1 ton with a V belts and a remote reservoir with steel brackets.
I'm kicking the idea around about putting it in a 3/4 ton S.B. truck that doesn't have hydro-boost.
Trying to figure out my options as far as the brackets go. I know I can spent $1k or so on a serpentine belt set up, but if that's my only option I'd keep the truck a small block.
Thanks Vile.
VileZambonie:
You could still run the same pump, just plump the conventional lines and block off the unused port.
fitz:
That would make life easy. Anyway to eliminate the remote reservoir?
