Power steering for Henry

Power steering for Henry
In preparation of having the new front end mounted, I am in the process of mounting up the power steering pump. So off to the local U-Pull-It. I know I have a 351W but the exact year is a mystery since the manifold has been changed and I did not see the code on the block so I sort of shooting in the dark.
But what I did find was a pump system from a '79 F-250 with 302.
The bracket that mounts to the water pump (pn E2BC-3C511-AA) fits well but is a bit short at the top. If the bracket was 2" longer, I think the pump would mount up the the head. The cast aluminum bracket that the pump is mounted in looks right. So has anybody put PS on a 351W that can direct me in the right direction as to what brackets I might need?
Thanks!
Mr. Ed

The engine code on the 351w is above the starter and under the lip of the block if you are looking for it. The number will start with a letter,...C for 1960's, D for 1970's and so on. The number following that would be the year. The pump you describe is probably from the 80's. I fabricated my own brackets for my 351 w but I using the Saginaw pump. Here's a couple pictures if your interested.

No such thing!
The bracket that mounts to the water pump (ID Engineering Number: E2BC-3C511-AA = Ford part number: E2BZ-3C511-A) fits well but is a bit short at the top.

This C-II P/S pump was introduced in 1978 on everything except Econolines and Passenger Cars with Hydro-Boost (both used the Saginaw P/S pump).
It has a plastic reservoir, the P/S pressure hose connects to the pump w/a qwik connect fitting.
E2BZ-3C511-A (replaced D8OZ-3C511-A) .. P/S Pump Support Bracket / Obsolete
1978/79 LTD II (not an LTD!)/Cougar/Thunderbird/Ranchero 302 / 1978/79 F100/150 302 / 1980 Granada/Monarch 302 w/o A/C / 1980/82 Fairmont/Zephyr 255/302 w/o A/C
1980/86 F100/250 & Bronco 255 (F100/150 only)/302 / 1981 Granada 255/302 w/o A/C
Note: The P/S pump used 1967/77 is the Ford/Thompson "pencil neck" pump, it has a steel reservoir.
The P/S pressure hose threads onto the pump. The brackets used beginning in 1978 with the C-II pump will not fit the Ford/Thompson P/S pump.

Thanks Bill. You must be psychic. I was going to ask for your help. So just to be clear, I need the E2BZ-3C511-A bracket, with a Saginaw pump right?
And you are correct on the junk yard truck. I thought the 302 was a transplant because the radiator support says the engine is a 300.
Thanks!
