Installed a 360 small block in my '51 Plymouth. Subsequently, very little space for accessories.

What's the smallest, closest-to-the-block (near water pump) power steering pump & bracket can I use?
 
Electric won't suit me, the '51 has very little under dash room. I have power rack already, just need the PS pump.
 
That $35 module is a hack. There are units that don't require the mod or pcm to work (Toyota/Scion,etc).
 
Yea that's the main point he makes in the thread
 
You would end up with something from a more modern Jeep, anything else modern.
I know Volvo's have nice little steering pumps where the pulley itself is larger than the pump housing. But the pulley will need to be changed to a V-belt anyway.

You need to be aware of the pressure output of the modern steering pumps. They are mostly higher than the old ones and could damage the steering box seals.

Enter "power steering pump" in Google Images and see how cute and tiny the modern steering pumps are these days.
