Questions
Hi, I have a 1968 Chevy 2 Nova with a 250ci I6 and Powerglide. I've got a 1993 Chevrolet 350ci Engine converted to Carb. The 250 will be swapped out for the new 350. It's all painted up and detailed.
I am using a serpentine belt drive system. I have incorporated a alternator and water pump from a 1980-1985 Chevrolet 305ci engine. The 305 also had power steering pump on it. I would love to keep power steering, when I swap out my 250I6 for my new 350.
Will the Power Steering Pump on the 1980-1985 305 be okay to use in place of the power steering pump that is currently on the 250? Are there any pressure issues? Other than a few adaptors, and fittings, will this new pump be okay to use?
Also the 1993 Chevrolet 350's Stock Oil Pan, will this be okay to use in my 1968 Nova? Will it clear everything? This motor was put in a Blazer with the current pan I have, before I bought it. I don't believe this engine was from a Blazer, but maybe a Firebird?
Anyways all I need to know is will that power steering pump work, and will the stock oil pan that is currently on the 350 work in my 1968 Chevy 2 Nova?
Thanks Alot...............

I don't believe even the current power steering pump to be much different than it was 40 years ago, on the trucks at least. For the 60's-early 90's, the cars and trucks used pretty much the same pump.

THE POWER STEERING PUMP SHOULD WORK FINE, BUT I WOULD RECCOMEND A 20 % UNDER DRIVE PULLEY SET UP. THIS WILL LESSEN PUMP AND ALTERNATOR RPM.
OIL PAN WILL WORK FINE.

Hey guys thanks a lot so far.
Attention: "Matt167" the pump on the 250 right now, has a V-Belt Pulley on it, since I am running a serpentine set-up, I'd rather just go with a pump that already has a serpentine pulley on it. I've already made a bracket for the alternator, and either way I go (Original Pump, or Serpentine Pulley Pump) I'll have to make brackets in order to use them. Plus, I'd rather keep the car drivable with the 250 for the time being.
Best Wishes.....Steve
