I have a 6bt out of a UPS truck that I'm in the planning stages of what to do to get it in my truck (1952 F3). The engine came with a power steering pump and vaccum pump. I'd like to run power steering and possible power brakes.

Power steering: How can I tell if the power steering pump on the motor will work with different steering boxes? My plan is to install a toyota power steering box from a late 80s to early 90s 4x4. I have a writeup on that install and it seems the best. Would it be better to buy the pump from the same truck and make mounting brakets?

Brakes: I'm not sure if I'm going to run power brakes yet. If I do will the vaccum pump work for a regular brake booster setup? I'm thinking about putting an exaust brake on the truck also. Are there any downsides to running an exhaust brake?

I haven't set the motor in the truck yet to check the fit but it looks like I may have a clearance issue with the solid front axle on the truck and the oil pan. Can I spin the oil pan 180 along with the pickup tube or will I need another pan/pick up tube?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

 

cummins do a bunch of options on oil pans and pick ups-
i,d rig the steering pump up with a mains motor,just connect the whole mess up ,spin it and see if it works,those steering pumps are all pretty powerful,i think the issue there is amounts of fluid and size/speed of ram
