New to the LS Swap Thing

[TMar365]

Hello all,
New to the whole LS Swap thing. I have an 87 monte SS . I just purchased an L92 motor out of a 2007 Escalade. I was wondering what ps pump I can use that will bolt up to the escalade accessory bracket and possibly be compatible with the stock power steering lines. Thanks.

Should have a truck style pump on it. That will work for you.

But I'm assuming the Escalade had hydro boost brakes because theres 2 pressure lines and 1 return line on the current pump

Any half ton in the junk yard will be a good donor for a PS pump. That's where I got mine, some 2500 pickups were also vacuum boost brakes.

I have an L92 top end on a LQ4, so a gen 3.5 LY6. All the old brackets and stuff still bolt on.

My 07 Escalade ESV AWD with tow package doesn’t have hydro boost. I honestly haven’t seen any of the NNBS Escalades with it. On my cutlass with the LM7 I’m used the stock truck ps pump

Hydroboost style ps pump & reservoir should be 1 high pressure out from pump & 2 low pressure return to reservoir, which 1 could be capped.
Pretty sure most ls engine ps pumps are what you refer to as a type 2 pump. The reservoirs that fit to the pump varies.
I got factory hydroboost on my 83 el camino & had to run a tee to the f-body ls reservoir for returns. I had to have new lines made by local hydraulic hose company Not sure about your 87' line compatibility.

Welcome to the forum. I've been running the same L92 6.2 in my Olds... You're going to love it. Mine dynoed 400 at the wheels with just a cam, headers and tune. It was a low mileage Escalade pullout and came with the standard truck power steering pump. I used the factory G body power steering lines which fit perfectly.

X2 for factory vortec power steering pump and stock g body hoses.

Thanks for replying.
Did your pump have 3 lines on the back of it? Got any pics of your set up, thanks again.

I'm using the PS pump with hydro boost lines. Which return line can be capped?
