Power steering pump mounting bracket?

[Pro439]

The only thing better is to look at a truck that has a hydro boost or find someone who really knows these things. Which is why I posted on here praying that someone would be able to help. Thank you for helping an old man

I have this bracket left over from my 1997 Tahoe. It's not hydro-boost. The bracket also holds the AC compressor. The truck is a 5.7L Vortec.

Only input gmpartsgiant.com wanted besides year was engine size. If it needed to know vacuum vs. hydro boost it would’ve asked. Since you have a 5.7, that’s the correct bracket.

“Description:

I've never heard of a specific bracket for the power steering pump, for a given brake booster type. The two pumps are not radically different. It's basically just an extra port for hydroboost. Maybe different pressure settings, not a completely different unit requiring a bracket redesign.

So I have a 454 that I’m going to put a 383 in and the power steering pump is definitely different what I didn’t know is if the mounting bracket was somehow different because of the pump. I don’t want to get the engine in the truck and go to put the power steering pump on and find it won’t fit

Yep, literally just an extra spot on the reservoir for the return line.

Well now that you’re adding a 454, that’s not your original post saying it was a 5.7. That will need a different bracket for a 454.

OK,let's see if I can wrap my brain around this.
You now have a 454?
You want to change to a 383 which is small block and you're looking for the P/S bracket for the small block?

I’m confused too somewhat. Might have mentioned all this in post #1. But still, it’s going to have a 383, the bracket I posted should work.

The 454 actually doesn’t impress me in the stock form. I also have a dually that I’m redoing the 454 in but it’s not stock and the 383 isn’t really stock but I didn’t go crazy on the cam so I want to put it in my crew cab srw
