Yes this will work for a 4.9
What you are asking about is actually two options.

If you go the junkyard route, you need the pump, pulley, pressure line, bracket off an4.9, and possibly a new different size belt.

If you go the Caldone pump route, you only need the pump and the pressure line. You reuse your pulley, bracket, and belt.
From a recent thread, it looks like the costs are close, but using the new pump gets you a rebuilt pump that should last the life of the truck.
if I do this, I'll probably shop for price and use the Caldone pump, rather than take a chance on a high mileage junkyard pump.
Good Luck Frank

 

I just went through it. Search my forum name for the 4.9 I6 Saginaw swap story. Good Luck

 

thanks alot. Ill be sure to do that.

 

Does this work for modular engines, specifically the 5.4L 2 valve? My Super Duty whines like a "something-or-other"

 

All the holes lined up too? Id hate to go through all this only to find out the holes dont line up? Sorry for asking so much later.

Do you have any pictures of your bracket? Thanks agian for all your help so far.

I wouldn't bother going the used van parts route. If you buy the proper Saginaw pump it is a direct bolt up. The pressure hose you need is off a 78' Bronco. They are sometimes hard to come by. I have an extra hose from Napa if you need one. I'll sell it at cost.

 

Will the 78-79 f-series truck one work as well? I cross ref'ed the part and those use the same pump too.

Yes I think so. Most people say 78-78 F-250 on the forum.

 

So what fluid are you supposed to use? Ive read that some say atf type 4 and others say power steering fluid? Which is correct?

You should use what ever fluid is spec'ed out for your steering box.
The pump will be fine with what ever that may be.

 

I went with the ATF the sticker calls for.

 

I used Type F ATF, because that is what the manual said.

 

well, I did it ad the pump leaked.

 

I'd like to do this swap in a '99 Expedition with a 5.4L. Are the parts the same as the first post in this thread?. Are the parts sources still valid? Anybody know?
