Anyone who is going to run an electric water pump housing doesn't need a full size alternator and a PS setup. If you really think you need the combination of electric water pump, full size alternator and PS then use a factory water pump housing and a drop in electric pump.

BUT, since I already have it I will try to fab somehting up. I'm not sure I agree with not needing a full size alt and PS pump??? Am I the only running PS on a street/strip car?

(small one not the larger early bracket) I did that for a friend a few years ago. I don't remember if I had to weld anything or just cut and drill. But it did need some custom spacers (round stock with a hole in it). He had manual steering, so that is unknown.

Not to mention all the electrical gizmo's... Newer smaller alternators charge better, save weight, and are simpler to wire up. Mopar power steering sucks (too easy to turn, no road feel), plus you don't need it on these old cars. I'd rather drive one with manual steering any day. Power steering is heavy and robs power so it's a no brainer to trash it for a manual box.
