I don't have front pic, but the pulley was never an issue. It was pump body it's self. This photo makes the pulley look close but it was not that bad.

Mine was about the same. Maybe a finger's width between the pump and the power steering return line. Tight, but I think it'll work.
Be careful your return line looks like mine with the kink.

Cool! That doesn’t look bad! Could also go with the remote reservoir pump like several others have done.
Here's one like I used, no problems now....

I recall that mod being something that Ron was adamant about pointing out when checking out his rig at PP2018. The significance didn’t really register until recently.

What motor mounts are you using? I went back through several pages and didn’t find any mention...

I think these.
Amazon product ASIN B07WC415BJ
They almost fit with an extra 3/16 plate on the inside of the frame and the width of the motor. I buzzed an 1/8 off 1 side to fit across. I am cheating the motor to the driver just a bit for the AC and drive shaft oil pan clearance.
I am going to add a couple gussets to them. I think they are strong enough but I dont mind over doing that part.
The art of negotiation, persuasion and a sharp pencil. Take that the way you want.
I am probably the only moron to do 2 power steering conversions in the same pig. The first time cost me less than that power steering pump you got. That included the box, pump and the used high steer kit.
My googlenet sources tell me the vette and the Express van had remote PS. Scabbing reman. parts for them can be less than $150. I think what I have will work but in the future I might make it remote.

Got some fresh(ish) steel for the driver tail light. Not much going for the last few weeks. Been redoing the kids room and building bunk beds.

"It amazes me how you built that Pig for $5000..."
Not to mention a a cupful or two of wishful thinking, creative accounting and and slight dash of outright fibbing.

I'm above 5k, but not much. Maybe 15k including the purchase of the pig.
It's a junk yard build and I'm am cheap...well my wife is cheap so I am cheap. You know how it goes.
