Saginaw p/s pump conversion completed
I got my 95 F-150 converted to a Saginaw pump today. It's amazing how much quieter it is. My old pump was by no means a loud one, but it did have the distinctive whine to it. At idle now all I can hear is the fuel injectors clicking under the hood and a nice exhaust tone. 
I wish I would have done this a long time ago. I do notice it feels like it has slightly more power assist on the road, which will take a little getting used to.
I got everything off a 95 E-150 van with a 351. Pump, bracket, and pressure hose. So I can now guarantee the bracket is interchangeable with a 302. Everything bolted right into place. I had to do a little minor bending of the pressure line but it fits nicely now.
I saw a post here about possible differences in the steering box fittings, possibly needing a longer belt, and the a/c compressor bolts may be different. None were the case for me, probably because I stayed with the same year. I used all of my old bolts. I'm running Type F ATF as that's what the book calls for in both trucks and vans in 95.

I didn't have any problems with any 90's vans as long as same motor .But you used one off 351 and it fit yours. Glad it worked out. I have 2 E-vans lined up to get parts off of . you bet those pumps will be in my garage. They are nice for turning with larger tires .

As far as I know most had the Saginaw 88 up or so (According to local wreckers part book) . Mine and the 2 others have bee 93 -95 vans and bolted right up to 302 and the 351 also works as stated above. You need pump mount and pressure hose. In another post gut got a Saginaw pump that fit right in but needed the different hose. I'll have to read up on it.

damn you revived an 8 year old thread. But I'll answer your question. There were e series vans years 93, 94, and 95 maybe more not sure. They ranged from e150-350 with 5.0 or 5.8 engines that had Saginaw pumps with brackets already installed from the factory. I got mine at a pick and pull junk yard for 40$ you will need the high side p/s hose from the van everything was a direct bolt on. Took less the an hour to install and the end result was quietness. Best 40$ I ever spent.

Yes, 460's had the Saginaw pump.
I have one on my truck.
Not sure about serpentine belt trucks, but I had to get the mounting boss off the front of the head of the donor for my V-belt setup.

You need the mounting bracket and the pulley.
THAT is why you scavenge from a van in the junkyard.
I'm sure you could bring the used pump to the parts store to swap for a remanufactured one.
You need the power steering pulley puller to get it off the bracket anyhow.
I don't know if Saginaw sells new Van pumps in the aftermarket. (I've never seen one)

When I got the one for my diesel Bronco, I found somebody selling the pump on eBay and asked them for a price to throw in the bracket and hose. IIRC the whole thing was about $50 shipped.
