Yes I am in need of PS, but I have a long water pump and no accesory holes in the heads. I know the bracket from March works but how about somthing stock for now, cause I am out of cash. What works fellas.

Other than drilling and tapping some holes for a stock set-up. I don\'t have any suggestions. I believe all aftermarkets all bolt to the heads also.

i was going to make a custom set up that used the manifold and water pump bolts for brackets. if you cant afford anything maybe you can try making them?

I\'m glad this post came up.... what\'s up with not having bolt holes for the PS brackets on the left head???? when I bought my truck it already had the 350 in it and I have the same issue.... no bolt holes. What is the deal with these heads? It really doesn\'t matter now b/c I bought a set of e-tec heads and a march serpantine conversion kit but, I\'m still curious about this question.

My Power Steering setup does not use holes in the front of the Heads, if I\'m understanding the question correctly? My P/S pump connects to the long water pump (bottom bracket), and the top bracket connects to another bracket which connects to the first header bolt hole. This setup was given to me and I don\'t know what it came off of. I think an 84-87 Monte... not sure??? But its a stock setup. As already mentioned, I think the aftermarket setups bolt to the front of the head.

I made a bracket that bolts to the first header bolt the rest is to waterpump some mild steel and a drill will fix it http://www.s10v8.com/images/smilies/icon_cool.gif

Well since my welder is FUBAR I guess I will be using the march bracket, thanks anyway guys.
Also tto answer your question, they heads with no accessory holes were used on late model small blocks and are called camel humps, wich is a pretty good stock head especially if you port them.

well, in that case, anybody want my set??? I\'ll be home in about a week and I\'m not going to have a need for those heads anymore
