Has any one out there done a upgrade on their power steering pump. I have the old Eaton pump. I have switched the 289 for a 351w in my 63 Country Sedan. The Eaton set up will not fit with the 351. I am planning on taking my hose for the eaton pump and have a new end placed on it because the line is still good. Any suggestions?

Go to http://www.conceptonepulleys.com/fordfe.htm I am debating adding one of these systems to my 64 FE stroker. They make the kits for all motors, not just FE.

Thanks, I will look into it. A bit more than I want to spend now.

Jeez for that price you better get some Hp along with it!

I am running the Concept One on my car. I went with the entire pulley system after having problems with my pump. I am also running a rack and pinion and hydroboost off the new pump.

I have seen guys run a 91-up mustang power steering pump before. That would probably be the easiest set up on a 351

Thanks Fakesnake. I just ordered a bracket from March Performance. Now I am off to find a pump.

Hydroboost is when the power steering pump "powers" the brake "booster". No vac.

here is a link that will show some pics and info on it.

modern day version for braking. Made a big difference for me and my big brakes-

Cool! I am not sure if the stroker and new cam setup will have any vacuum at idle or not so it is a good piece of information. I ordered the whole serpentine pulley kit with ps pump from Concept One this morning. Sure hope it all works as good as it looks.
