power steering

Since I have a short pump, Any easy bolt on power steering pumps out there? The bracket is what the big question is. I think it bolts to the drivers side of the block and not the head.

That's the rub. You can use brackets and pump from a V8 Monza, but you'll have to move your alternator to the passenger's side of the engine. I didn't have room next to the battery, but you may be able to use a V8 Monza alternator mount. I believe there is one that mounts it up between the valve cover and thermostat housing.

I made my own out of a new style GM pump and reservoir from Lefthander Chassis (Rockford, IL, lefthanderchassis.com), a Moroso bracket to attach this style pump to the LH cylinder head (I don't recall the number right now), a RH side alternator bracket for a '70s Corvette with headers, and some steel bar stock. Here is the final product:
