Please help 305 to 350

I recently swapped a worn out 305 for a 350 engine, i have everything hooked up and running with the exception of the power steering. the 350 has double hump heads which i didn't know has no holes in them. apart from drilling these heads , how can i mount the power steering pump, and where can i find the stuff to do this??
thank you in advance for your help.

Welcome aboard thirdgen.org.

You can't drill and tap the heads. There isn't enough material there, and there isn't a flat pad for the bracket to mount up to.

You can either get heads that have the holes, or get aftermarket brackets and possibly accessory pulleys.

summitracing.com, jegs.com, any aftermarket place like that. You're looking for March, or Billet Specialties, or Summit brands, among others.
