330ft power steering

Does anyone have a power steering pump bracket for a 78 330ft motor

330 foot motor? That's a HUGE motor. Looks like you might be looking for a 330ci (cubic inch) motor. Your truck must be an old UHaul or industrial truck. These engines are the same FE engines as the 360, 390, and so on. Makes searching the salvage yards and the internet easier.

Ok thanks. It is an old uhaul. I was told the water pump and timing cover is different from the fe. I might just make my own bracket.

The U haul 330 was the MD version but I am not sure which water pump it used. IF it uses the FE water pump, then the FE PS bracket should work:

Are you repairing existing PS?

Or trying to ADD PS?

Do you have a line on the other parts? I think these used the ram type power assist, not an integrated PS steering box.

Truck salvage is probably where you'll find the bracket and other stuff.

I have most of the parts. I'm not 100% sure but I was talking to a power steering conversion company and they said I just need the power steering gearbox and pitman arm from a 2wd and have to shorten the steering column 2" and weld a new rag joint on. They did not have a bracket for my motor though.
