PS pump and Alt. brackets for electric WP

Hey guys. I would like to run a electric waterpump on my car. But I don't want to loose my PS pump, or my alternator (obviously). Idealy, I would like to run a low mount pass. side alternator, and low mount dr. side PS pump. They DO not have to be low mount though...

I know march makes a bracket/pulley set, but is very expensive. Is there any alternatives? I would be interested in pulleys as well.. Let me know if you guys know of anything. Thanks a lot.

Alan Grove makes an inexpensive mid-mount alternator bracket for electric water pumps, and you use a crank pulley for a long water pump application.

Do you have the moroso part number(s)?

That other site is not working for me, but the connection on this rig sucks!!!

Thanks a lot guys.

P.S. Got the site to work, looks great...but what about the PS pump? If a crank pulley is available with dual groves...then maybe can make it work. I want to run the pro form pump! Thanks again.

No, its not a track only car, so I want to keep the PS....

I used a CSI electric pump on my street only driven LT1, that logged many miles each day...It worked great for a year, absolutley no issues...I loved it. So I want something iike that in my third gen. Pro Form uses CSI motor.

I found a couple of things in the MOROSO catalog, but i don't think you want them. They both say that you have to have a remote reservoir or reservoir removed. Early-Style GM PS Pump 63895 use with 85480 or 85490 remote reservior.

Late Model GM PS pump 63897 use with 64860 pulley.

I'd just build my own stuff, did and will make some more later.

Well, remote reservoir could work for me....the LT1 car in my sig has been totaled, and I kept it for parts. It has a perfectly good PS pump and reservoir....

In fact the entire pulley setup could work, but not with my tall valvecovers, I don't think. Anyone have luck with LT1 pulleys/brackets? Thanks.
