Power Steering Bracket Needed

[Mike Gaines]

I also have this posted in the other section...but.....
I need this bracket (mount) for a power steering unit. I would think they are all pretty much the same for 383 thur 440. If the mounting bracket is in 2 parts (front and rear) I need both parts.
I have a Mancini Torque strap mounted off the motor mount lugs but I want to fabricate a Torque strap coming off the water pump housing bolt holes where this power steering bracket mounts. I can use it for the top part and use a rod and a second heim end like the Mancini Torque Strap to run it down to the frame rail to a fabricate a mount on the frame rail.
The Mancini Torque strap (which I show in the picture on the right) still allows the motor to rock a lot because it is so low on the block.
I have seen Torque Straps like I want to fabricate but they use only 1 of the available mounting holes on the water pump housing. I think my thoughts on this would be much more sturdy.
The bottom photo shows the mounting holes on my water pump housing that I want to use for the top part of the torque strap.
I do know that I could use a "motor plate" to accomplish the same purpose of making the motor more solid but I don't want to give up my alternator and I don't want to spend the money for a motor plate, alternator mounting kit for the motor plate and a small size powermaster alternator that would fit in where it has to go. I also know I could use Moroso steel motor mounts which I have already. Thanks again.
Let me know if you have one and how much.
Thanks, Mike

If you could part with all 3 loose triangular brackets PLUS the bracket still bolted to the power steering pump I believe I could use all of them to fabricate my torque strap mounting bracket.
If you can part with all of them, let me know, and how much.
Thanks, Mike

Unless you're really set on fabbing something yourself a motor plate is the way to go. It's what I finally did in my Belvedere and never looked back.
I used the one below with their brackets
