Is Power Steering Possible in a Big Block 67-9 Cuda?

[cosgig]

Howdy people, cosgig here. I have a friend that wants to install power steering into his big block 67 Cuda. He wants to buy the OE stuff from me, but I kinda want to make sure it’s possible to run PS in a big block 67-9 Cuda before I pull it all. I don’t know whether he’s running Headers or not, maybe that would make a difference? Any input would be welcome and very much appreciated. Thanks all, and enjoy your weekends!

With the right manifolds yes. With headers no. Post pics of what he got. Kim

Yes, I've seen power steering in a big block a-body...

Here's one in a 68 Dart with a 440 that was at Belvidere Happening last month...

I’ve got s message in to him to find out his setup!

You can run a 440 with headers and p/s in that gen a body... Look at the photos that I just added to my post above.... ^^^^^^

Yes, with 69/69 original manifolds or Schumaker Tri-Y headers. 67 Original Manifolds were not designed for Power steering , this is the reason PS was not offered in 67, 68/69 had a driver side manifold casting change that allowed PS. This is for the 383. 440 cars never came with PS if one is seen it was installed after purchase. I am installed PS in my Dart 440 using 383 manifolds for 68/69 casting. Hose connection at the PS box may require some fancy connector, as well the block may need an cast ear ground off a bit.

Well, the update is that he has 67 manifolds and a 4 speed. Sounds like his current setup is a no go!! Thanks people, you’re always right on the spot with helpful information and advise!
