dirtymac Posted December 19, 2023 Author Share Posted December 19, 2023 I am in the process of doing this conversion now. You need the pump mounting bracket from a 460 van. Part number E3UA-3A722-GB or similar. These are far more common than the factory Saginaw pumps on M blocks, which did exist. You also need an early car/truck M block water pump to PS pump swivel bracket and the aluminum spacer, the spacer is different than the 460 one so you cant use that. The Saginaw pump required is typically labeled as a "GM Type 2 Saginaw" at your local parts store. That pump has the correct mounting pattern on it for the Ford bracket. It's that simple :) I was originally going to do the Saginaw conversion but could not locate enough solid information to find the appropriate bracket. My local junkyards have very few of the vans and none of them had the 460. Once I found the Lee power steering pump I gave up on the conversion. It was definitely the more expensive route, but I'm very happy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBrother-84 Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 It was definitely the more expensive route, but I'm very happy with it. You bet. Simplicity has its cost. But in my case, I have absolutely no regrets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
