Would this P/S work


Yeah, I know, this is one of the thread that made me want to do that.
I might not have made myselft clear.
I know this will involve bracket making and such, no problem.

My question is more about this very pump. Maybe it's been designed to work a different rotation speed, maybe it would deliver not much/not enough psi, this kind of insurmountable obstacles.
I don't know if all pump are born equal. Would a standard GM p/s pump of the same size do the trick, or does it take later Vette ones.
Also, will it work with standard pulley or I need a serpentine setup.
That's the kind of newbie stuff I'm wondering.:noob:

I don'y think pump flow or pressure would be a problem. The Corvette pump pressure is pretty low (950psi) and the type two is 1300-1500psi. The pulley might be the problem. The later "metric" pump has a press on pulley and with a smaller diameter than the earlier v-belt, keyway pulley. The smaller pulley causes the pump to spin faster. You might be able to find a correct diameter v-belt, press on pulley.

Thanks BBShark. I bought it.
Since I'll have hydroboost and borgeson, a little extra psi won't hurt.
I'll have to figure out what is the intended rpm for this pump.
