Got to love the way you’ve got to snake the steering shaft around the old HEMIs (that’s pretty much the same routing I had to do on my 37 and I’ve seen several others that are about the same).

Early 331 ? (1954 maybe…….timing cover kind of gives it away)

More details grin



As far as PS pumps I’ve done a couple. On the 37 I did a mopar pump, as I said , not sure if it was a TRW of Federal. That one pivots for belt tension and the pump pressure is lower than the Saginaw (GM) pump so it seems to work well with the Mustang II rack. Something like this might work well on your Dodge.

On the 57 I did a Saginaw pump and used a SBC bracket as a starting point. On that setup the pump is stationary and the alternator is used to tension the belt.

Might give you some Ideas.



The SBC is the direction I’m going. As to the Saginaw pump. I’m running the Hotheads timing cover and a short SBC water pump. Problem with the 330 is there are no bosses in the block an one in the head.
