Getting ready to swap a 5.7 into my 73 Dart Swinger

Wait... What? I could have swor I read somewhere that the factory ps will fit. I'm not running ac I am going to get a pulley to bypass that and I will double check what side it was on but i saw no reason that wouldnt fit.. The oil filter can easliy have a bracket or something fabbed up I was thinking behind the headlight in the bay somewhere. Oil pan is due to come in the mail today so I'm looking foward to saving up for the stamd alone and a tune i heard back from a company and i can tune my 03 computer to be stand alone

I was thinking they (someone) said power steering was a “must go away” unless you changed something or relocated the reservoir (?). But I’m not sure, that’s why I thought I would ask. The AC compressor I think just barely bumps the steering box but most shim it out. But again, I don’t know. The power brakes are the other concern. The booster specifically. But maybe I can get an aftermarket one with a smaller diameter?

But in the end, I’m also wondering if the 74 V8 K member improves a lot of the situation, making it a “best case” scenario versus previous years....
