1986 f150 302 power steering bracket help

Hey guys, im currently finishing up my 308 sbf for my 1986 f150, and was wondering where i could get a power steering bracket to match the stock style power steering pump. most i see aftermarket are for the saginaw pumps, and my local junkyard's 302 bullnoses are picked CLEAN. This is the final part of the build, just waiting on my custom length pushrods coming in, and i can finally wrap it up and throw er in the truck.

Basic Build Spec:
E303 Ford Cam
Ford roller lifters
40 over pistons, stock stroke
Trick Flow Valves and port job on E7 Heads (finding gt40's are tough around here)
Stock pedestal lifters ( might upgrade to roller 1.6 later)
Edelbrock Performer RPM
Edelbrock 1405 600 cfm carb
MSD Ignition adapted to a duraspark distributor
MSD 2 Step
Only going to spin this engine up to 6100-6200 rpm. nothing special, just going in my 86' f150 mated to a T18.


Decided to go with ford blue finally, my twin gt45 LM7 build is in the back chilling, waiting for me to install parts on, but life gets busy.

I suppose this is what you are looking for? You probably do not have #2882 which is the old A/C compressor mount. You may need to make a spacer here or there to make things line up and fit.

Here's the other piece that is already sold. https://www.ebay.com/itm/155100081343 Reading the listing on this, you may need to contact this guy. Looks like it was back at the beginning of 2024.

With some fabrication this might work. It's cheap enough. https://www.speedwaymotors.com/Small...8uETNne0ZMrkT8

In the picture above that would be #3C511? If so, someone on here may have one laying around and it looks easy to ship.
