Ls1 Engine Swap Steering Pump

Prev Next
March Performance reps recommend an'87 Sunbird pump with a remote reservoir, but Melvin already ordered a steering pump from S&P. There are two Type 2 pumps available; this one (that works with the March Performance pulleys) uses a 5/8-inch-diameter shaft that rides on ball bearings, so it's considered superior to the other, which employs a 3/4-inch shaft that rides on a bushing. To connect the pump to the steering rack and a remote power steering reservoir, conversion fittings (PN 9400 16mm metric to 6-AN) for the reservoir and for the rack (PN 0441 16mm metric to 6-AN and 0444 18mm to 6 AN) were used.
