CUTLASS Power steering pump in the way

[Zzz]

What size engine is this and was it a turn key (ready to run) engine?

Turn key 383 stroker. 440 horse 475 torque. But that power steering pump where the hose hooks on the new one is in the way for the hose to screw into the steering.

So move it. It's not like there's a shortage of SBC accessory drive parts.

It’s on a serpentine belt system is it that easy just to move it

Is it just the fitting on the pump that is in the way and if so is it threaded in?

It’s a plastic housing I did try to turn it but I don’t want to break it maybe I’ll have to contact the company made it

Damn all you guys are making me feel great what else is wrong.

if the car is up high enough you can install the transmission to the engine and put them both in at the same time

Ok it’s just a little disappointing when you spend so much money on something I go to put it in and I got little things like that power steering pump the fuel pump is the same way but I think I can make that one work

don't let that discourage you, if everything fits perfect there's no fun doing it......plus the fix that you figure out will help the next guy, or maybe someone here has had the same issue that can help you out... 🙂

It either needs to moved and or go to and earlier saginaw power steering pump set up and use an aftermarket pulley.
