From the pic, it looks like the driver side header is quite close to the power steering return line. Maybe just camera angle

Was it only the veesix fourthgens that had the reservoir way over on the fender then?

No idea! But that gives me one to look at! Very Happy

Yep, the 3800 at least has it divorced and mounted to the framerail.

No idea on an LS1 car, I haven't paid that much attention.

LS1s are mounted where I have it, it's a factory fbody bracket.

Just went out to the shop to grab a pic of mine. This is the factory fourthgen pump, reservoir and lines running into the thirdgen box. The reservoir is just hanging in this picture. There is enough slop in the lines to get it farther out of the way.

Do you know offhand if the diameter of the shaft is the same between your 4thgenv6 pump and a thirdgen one?

aaron_sK · Posted: Mon Jan 23, 2012 7:39 pm Post subject:

F**k no, not a clue. Laughing

How would the old thirdgen pump help anyway?

As far as I know, shaft diameter is the same between 3rdgen and fourthgen v8 pumps. If I can just pick up a new pump from my work and swap over the pulley that'd be easiest. Smile

Just a thought, for my LT1 swap I used the resevoir over on the driver side but I got some stock high pressure lines to actually work. All I needed to do was bend one of the hard parts a little. Not sure if it will work with what your doing but thats how the LT1 ended up.

As far as I can remember, the res just has an oring fitting to the pump and it's just held on by some clips to keep the seal. I don't remember there being a fitting or tube coming off...

If they're just using the normal type-2 pump shouldn't the inside of the inlet be tapped for threads? If not maybe it could be tapped.

If not then you are right about needing to find out which shaft diameter you need. Summit sells a universal unit with a 5/8" shaft like so:

Type-2, hose barb on the low pressure line... doesn't list shaft sizes.

Now that looks promising. I hope the orientation is the same as mine, I'll check it out tomorrow. Thanks buddy!

Incidentally, while digging around in the garage tonight "cleaning up" I found all the v-band flanges/clamps and turbo flanges I had ordered years ago. Laughing

It's like free parts!

iansane · Posted: Fri Feb 17, 2012 3:39 pm Post subject:

So that pump was quite a bit off. Laughing

the shaft diameter was much smaller and the bolt holes were smaller and threaded. Oh well.

But I did get my weight jacks in!

And it only took three weeks! Laughing

The PS pump I knew about the next day, just put it on the back burner while I tacked together the hotside.

Now I need some red spray paint for those springs!

Edit; Laughing

Sorry guys I forgot I can't shrink photobucket pictures from my phone! I'll edit when I get home from work.

I think GC supports drinking while working on my car. This spanner wrench looks an awful lot like a bottle opener...
