Hey, I was wondering what all componets would you need to change over if you wanted to covert from the long style water pump to the shortie. I have a 69 Chevelle that I swaped over to a BB 454 running only the Alternator, water pump and the crank pully. Reason why i want to make this change is because of radiator/ electric fan space to the water pump. :confused:

Water pump, appropaite brackets, pulleys.

Remember that the brackets relocate the alternator to the drivers side, and you may not have enough room to run the PS pump without a remote reservoir like factory 65-68 BB's

I switched to manual steering after installing the short waterpump. Summit has a billet bracket by Zoops. It says "fits all A-Body applications" but it didnt fit mine. Also tried NPD for a bracket, but still no luck. So I went manual. It is nice having all the extra room up front with the electric fans though!
