I've been doing some information searching and I've decided that the GM Type 2 pump is what I need. It's been around for ever and I can get it in the right pressure plus its cheap. http://www.hotrodhotline.com/md/html/type_ii_ps.phpThe jeep SRT8 pump has the built in reservoir but I'll be over $200 and still not have a way to run the pressure lower.

GM type II, Saginaw TC and the newer Mopar stuff all seem to be the same pump to me just different reservoir. Look at a 99-04 Jeep WJ Grand Cherokee pump, same pump but slightly different reservoir angle. The LX guys are blowing up the stock pumps on SRT8's when they push them on road courses too. Their solution is a Viper pulley swap kit.

So, I let impulse get the best of me last night and I bought a set of wheels. http://www.americanmuscle.com/charcoal-amr-18x9-0512.html?source=igodigitalAMR wheels by Amercian Muscle 18x9 square  Backspacing: 6.18" (157mm) Offset: +30mm (1.2") $69 each x 4 with a $10 coupon and free shipping. I know that I'll need spacers and they won't be direct bolt on, but I'm willing to make it work. 275/40 or 285/35 all around. I can't resist cheap.

Will you need spacers due to the offset or because of the center register?
A guy in my club put Moosthang wheels on his Dart. The offset was okay but he needed the center register corrected. It took longer to put the rotor in the lathe than it did to make the change.
I think he might have been using a bolt on spacer. I can't remember.
We are brothers and sisters doing time on the planet for better or worse. I'll take the better, if you don't mind.

After seeing 100 lb wheel and tire combos be held on just find by them in the 4x4 world
100lb wheels on spacers? Keep going. 
Wheels will look great! Nice choice!

I think what was meant was spacers on 4x4 wheels at 100lbs holding on.
I hope someone out there can show us how to modify our existing ps pump to lower the pressure. Richard E where are you?? DIY please.

Putting aside the choices you made on wheels, EFI and suspension.....
It seems that the problems you encountered are pretty much the same as with an A body...
TTI mounts
Header clearance
Power steer pump compatability
and sourcing the sundry bolts and pulleys etc.
Have you measured your pinion angle....or did that improve with the mods to the engine mounts?
67 RO23 clone with 6.1 SRT Hemi and dual quads. Soon to have Drag Pak induction and Throttle body.

TTI mounts were not an issue. My issue was with the $5 parts house engine insulator having a raised nub on it. If I would have taken if off with the grinder before hand, it wouldn't have been an issue. It literally took 5 mins of persuasion to have it sit in the chassis.
Header clearance would have been better if I didn't have ac and if my torsion bars were stock. I've got 1.22" bars and if they were .920" they would have cleared.
PS pump is just a fact. If I had a borgeson box or a lower psi pump it wouldn't be a problem.
I'd advocate Everyone to not start with s bare block like I did. Buy an 05/08 car 5.7 long block and steal everything from that.
I did this backwards from most, but I've still got less money than most in my build. Mostly from working with people in the industry for almost ten years and having a few friends who own shops. My heads are $3000+ but I've not got that much money in them.
I won't paint a small picture with a large brush. This swap is not difficult and I don't even have a garage. It's just as I can do it without breaking the bank.
