I have a Buick 430 transplanted into a 67 gs 400. I installed a new ta performance high flow water pump. The old pump Was ground down so that the belt going from the water pump to the power steering pump did not rub. The power steering pump sits way up high near the valve cover and the belt rubs the new water pump. I believe that the power steering pump And brackets are sourced from a 350 and it’s the “high mount” set up. I’m wonder if anyone else has had this issue and to possibly source the correct brackets for the 430 motor
I put a 430 in my '68 Skylark. It came out of a '67 Electra. I tried the 350 brackets and ended up having to use the Electra brackets for that reason and actually like the PS pump lower. Check with GSFred or Cole and see if they have the brackets.

I am looking for as bracket set something similar to that, it would drop the power steering pump and get it away from the water pump
