wanted brackets for bbc with short water pump
Permalink  
 

I'm changing out the motor in the beast to a 427 and because of space constraints im using a short water pump. i dont have any brackets for alternator or power steering pump. im hoping someone has changed out to shiny chrome and kept the old black steel stuff. not sure if the pulley on the power steering pump is different between the short and long water pump configuration.

A short waterpump does not have any mounting spot for the P/S bracket.

I put a short waterpump on my 408(396) to get clearance for the elec fan.

I took a stock fan pulley and shortened it to align up with the stock crank pulley. I fab'd up some bits to bolt to the waterpump to take the powersteering pump. The alt and powersteering brackets are a combination of aftermarket and home made ones.

Saw your truck driving around and if I had known about this post I could have shown you what I did.

one pic.

 The bracket on the left is to bolt onto the waterpump for the P/S bracket.

i've been looking for awhile wish i had posted before i would have loved to get a gander for measurement purposes. i was actually walking around syracuse with a tape measure checking out big block with short waterpumps. i do know the late 60's vettes and early 70's trucks used the short water pump

If you know someone with a CNC plasma cutter they could make you some.
