A little late to this party, but...
Due to air quality in my neck of the woods, I was determined to add the FJ-60 PS pump and keep the air pump so I could pass a visual if/when it comes to that:
FJ60 Power Steering Conversion for FJ40 while keeping air pump

Wow that is a hell of a bracket! How has it held up?
I just tossed the whole motor and got one with the block holes lol
That works better!!!
If you guy make the bracket and arm that i can mount a fj60 pump in the lower smog position, then i am very interested.
Well..... i could not find a kit to put an FJ60 pump in an early 2F engine.
If i tried using the later model smog pump bracket then the pulley interfere with shock tower and the pump is very tilted.
I talked to my brother on this and yesterday he built a custom bracket from the smog pump and powersteering bracket and a custom idler hanging off the alternator bracket from a 3F FJ80 to make it work .

Just need to find a belt for it
Another picture
When building my 2fe, I had near every accessory and bracket for a f series engine sitting on the bench.
I found using a 3fe alternator and power steering pump is the best option. It even avoids using the 3 holes usually used for the power steering pump.

The f and 2f engines I've had around both seem to have the tapped holes in the front right side of the heads for the 3fe PS bracket too. I'm glad to see someone else suggesting this.
I do like the 3fe concept, but it means I need to chainge (extend) the lengths my wiring to my alternator and I need to run power steering lines to the opposite side of the engine. I don't thing the either is a game changer, but for the 2-3 hrs it took my brother make it for me....and for free parts he had laying around, its worth the price

I like bending hard lines, so that sort of project is kinda fun for me. My trucks will eventually have quite a few locations of custom bent stainless.
Quick dry fit in my 77
I could be wrong but I think the bracket you show is for an FJ62 that mounts power steering high on the passenger side with AC compressor low. So it should line up on the other side of the engine.

I did what GRM did as I borrowed the knowledge from his build thread. Many Thanks! I would like to add that in addition to the 62 pump, I used the 62 hard lines that run under the radiator. I had to have to have some custom high pressure hoses made as the original 62 hoses were close but had the wrong indexing of the ends. Mine is a 74 so the alternator was already on the drivers side. Some of the hoses and hard lines are available from toyota (but expensive) for this configuration as it was used in areas of the world where smog pumps did not warrant the moving of the alternator to the passenger side.
That’s def what the deal is. Thank you
