Default power steering mods ?

Im going to rebuild my 327/300 '66 engine . It came with no power steering originally and my question is..... If I want to add power steering are there any holes I need to bore and tap while I have the block out of the car ? I want to use the orginal style , not Steeroids etc.

Nope, you don't have to do anything - all the attachments for the pump and brackets use existing holes/fasteners on the engine, and the linkage uses existing holes in the frame - no drilling required - everything is a simple bolt-on.

Try looking at Corvette Centrals power steering box #562439, that replaces your old box. You don't need all the mess under the car. Just a pump! I just put it in my 67 BB. What a nice conversion.
