Does anyone currently run a 460 with power steering? And if so,what brackets are you using and what pump are you using? My Midstates uses a Mustang II style rack but the March pulley/bracket set I'd like to get uses a Saginaw pump. My understanding is that Saginaw's operate at a higher psi than the Mustang II rack can handle, resulting in very touchy steering.
I'm not opposed to using Ford brackets and pump if I had some part numbers or model years of vehicles to get them from.
If anyone's got a 460, Mustang II, power steering setup would you mind sharing information on what parts you used? Much appreciated.  |
kellison used the mustang II rack with a saginaw pump, he used modified factory brackets. however you will have to knock down the pump pressure.
as the saginaw puts out around 1200 psi and the must rack uses like 600 or 700. there are restriction orifices out there for sale to do this....
you may have to use some ford truck brackets for the pump or try some aftermarket companies for the street rod industry i'm sure there is something out there. you can get some off the shelf hoses for trucks for the pressure and return but the one end at the rack will need an adapter.
its a not so bad setup to do, the kellison used a 1979-80 fairmont\granada pump ford part # D9DZ-3A674-B....
