I'm sure a hole would work fine. I recently bought a cheap Tempco hydraulic knockout punch set ($119) , it works great on holes.

Shown here is dimension and location comparisons between the two pumps. Nothing mentioned as far as shaft protrusion though. Maybe a truck pulley would work fine? Need a pulley with holes though for bolt access. http://www.kwikperf.com/pdf/kwik_tips_power_steering_pump_comparison.pdf

I look forward to seeing your results. I didn't follow through on my CBR pump conversion yet. I made one last ditch effort to try a reman "P" pump one more time, and luck of the draw got one that performs better than previous ones. Steering is good. For how long i don't know. A couple of hard...

I didn't even think of RockAuto for an OEM GM part, Deal! I got it from GMPartsDirect for $114. Yeah, the 03-05 looks allot like a TC pump. The 2010 - 2012 Camaro pump looks like the PSC pump because of the machined surface where the inlet is. I just didn't want to spend the big bucks for...

I don't know yet. I'm trying to avoid paying PSC $400. A brand new genuine GM CBR pump is$125. I'm hoping someone will respond and say "yeah I used a 2012 Camaro pump, holes already threaded" or "I used a Corvette pump and tapped the output hole" or something like that. Yes, That's it there...

If it does, A quick 90 can be done with one of these banjo fittings

Here is a pic

The Vortec comes with the "P" pump AKA canned ham pump. A majority of the LS engines have them too. Come to think of it, any Chevy I've ever looked at has that pump. There is also a "TC" pump that is more compact and fairly common. Supposedly it performs similar to the "P" pump but a few people...

Does anyone run a stock application GM CBR power steering pump? Something other than just buying one from PSC? I would like a CBR pump, but don’t want to end up spending $500 to $800 to put one on my 5.3 Vortec/LS motor. I don’t have any CBR pumps at my disposal to put in hand to look at. I...

I have used CCOT bushings. They didn't last. Maybe the newer ones are better? I think I would trust the Energy Suspension ones more. How about rubber? Although it might be more difficult to find rubber ones in metric sizes.

The stock 80 axles hold up way better than the 60 axles. No comparison. The 60 axles to neck down to a small dia near the splines where they always break. Maybe the 80 axles being the same dia the whole length twist equally in all areas w/o there being a smaller dia weak spot? Maybe the 80...

I run 37's. In five years broke at least ten long side shafts. No kidding. Poly Performance: Never broke one, but wore out four of their shafts. The "bad batch" theory doesn't fly. In the end they didn't stand behind their product. I had Strange make some axles. Problem solved Cruiser/Ford...

Are you using an alignment bar for centering everything? If so, the tubes could be butt welded w/o having to make spacers. I'll be doing the same thing in the near future. I finally found a .250 wall (thick for a 9") housing to use.

Awesome! What transfer case you using?

Try Strange Engineering. http://www.strangeengineering.net/ They made custom axles for me when others couldn't/wouldn't. Tell them GM 30 spline, it's talking their language.

Project is complete. Back together and have driven a couple of hundred miles on them. It's Rubicon ready now.

Strange came through They couldn't make the flange that centers the drum big enough for the Cruiser drums. They were probably limited to the side of their axle blanks. I had some spacers made and tacked them on the axle, then had to notch them out for an access hole.

Now here's some strange axles

Nice! Bushings on the ends for additional vibration isolation and easy drop down for maintenance.

Hopefully I'm not getting off topic, but since i went diesel I've had teeth break off the R&P, the splitcase and the H55. And mine only has 260ft lbs of torque. Maybe it's the torque pulses of our diesels that are rough on the teeth of our gears?
