Inliners International Forums General Discussion Engines power steering on 230/250

hello all I am new to this site i haved loved inlines most of my life. I just swapped out a 307 v8 for a 230 L6 in a 1972 1/2 ton pick up with a SM 465 transmission and 411.1 rears.My question is the alternator on the lower left side of the L6 engine block. This is right where the factory power steering pump needs to be located in order to keep the stock power steering lines. should I relocate the alternator to the RHS or leave it alone and move the power steering pump to the RHS and have longer lines made ? and does any one know if there are brackets available to mount factory power steering to a L6 230 block ? or do I need to get some 1/4" plate and some soap stone and fab me up one ? any advice is very much appreciated Thank you all in Advance. AMS

I was at Pick and Pull today and looked a two 250s with PS. Both had the integral head but the alternator bracket is part of the PS bracket so they both go in almost the same space, sort of. I think they're all like that. Tom

Thank you sir ! I am on it

AMS,
The PS goes above the alternator. Almost due east of the WP. Mounts to the head, WP and alternator. They are on ebay all the time.
I think they look god awffull on the inline , but do function well. Tom

AMS, ignore the PM I sent you. Photos of the bracket I made for my 292 are in High Performance, under Remote Res. Power Steering Bracket. I posted 18 Dec 08. You should be able to search for that. S

PS...it is at the top of page 21 in the search for Remote Power steering Bracket in Hi Performance.
