This is my first post here. I did do a forum search, but couldn't find a solution. My apologies in advance for any posting faux pas.

I'm doing a total restoration on a '67 Camaro. I swapped out the 250ci for what I was told was a late 70's vintage 350ci with a short shaft water pump. I'm having trouble figuring out what brackets and power steering pump will fit correctly.



If a get brackets that use the two holes next to the balancer, the parts store recommended pump will be way too far forward for the pulleys to align. If a changed to a long shaft water pump and extended the balancer pulley out 5", I may be able to get it to work, but then it would be very hard to align the alternator pulley. I guess I could put on a second balancer pulley on an extension just to turn the PS pump, but I've never seen any engines set up with a huge space between two pulleys like that.





There isn't enough room to mount the pump on the side between the block and the A frame.




I think the only possible mounting is way up by the valve cover and header pipe, but I don't see and brackets available that would allow for it mounted here.



This is a picture of the original 250ci engine PS pump mounting. I think this style pump is smaller and may allow for an easier fit on the 350ci engine, but not sure to get brackets to fit.

Does anybody know a source for the exact pump and brackets or know somebody that can point me in the right dirrection?

TIA for any and all suggestions.
