LS Engine Power Steering Drive with Short Pump
For LS swap projects constrained by limited bay space the Power Steering Drive with Pump - Short delivers a compact steering solution that mounts directly to factory LS locations. This assembly integrates pump and reservoir on CNC machined brackets that match GM block holes and maintain belt alignment under all RPM. Fitment covers 1964 to 1967 A-Body, 1978 to 1988 G-Body, 1970 to 1972 Monte Carlo, 1982 to 2004 S-10 2WD and 1963 to 1967 Corvette plus Corvette and Cadillac CTS-V engines with short balancer length. Installers benefit from installation without welding using included hardware and detailed instructions for a precise fit and reliable performance in street or track swaps.
Integrated Power Steering Assembly
The Power Steering Drive with Pump in its short configuration integrates the power steering pump and fluid reservoir into a single manifold for LS series engines. Locating the reservoir within the assembly eliminates separate tanks and hoses, ensuring constant fluid supply under all load conditions and reducing potential leak points. The direct drive of the pump improves accessory drive efficiency by minimizing parasitic drag and heat buildup. This compact package maximizes underhood clearance and simplifies belt routing, making it ideal for modern performance builds where space is at a premium. By unifying key components, it also streamlines routine maintenance, so technicians can service the pump or fluid reservoir with minimal disassembly.
Precision Engineering and Installation
Manufactured with precision CNC milling and quality assurance processes, each bracket and housing surface is machined to exact factory tolerances for LS engine accessory patterns. Mounting holes align perfectly with existing block bosses, allowing installation requiring no welding and preserving factory service points. The kit includes all necessary fasteners, spacers and brackets, along with detailed torque specifications to guarantee consistent belt tension. Engineers optimized pulley spacing and drive geometry to maintain proper angles, reducing belt slip and vibration at sustained rpm. Corrosion resistant finishes on each component ensure long term durability in demanding environments.
Model Compatibility and MuscleRods Integration
Designed specifically for a broad range of General Motors engines, including Corvette and CTS-V platforms equipped with LS powerplants, this short drive unit offers seamless integration into popular performance and restoration kits. When installed with MuscleRods engine mounts, it ensures precise engine positioning and correct driveshaft angles, which preserve suspension geometry and drivetrain alignment. This partnership not only supports optimal accessory operation but also contributes to overall chassis balance and handling consistency. Ships complete with all hardware, detailed instructions and a compatibility guide, delivering a straightforward bolt in solution for professional workshops and home garage projects alike.
Crafted for LS engine conversions, this reliable power steering drive ensures precise pump integration, optimized accessory drive efficiency and easy no weld installation with all necessary hardware included.
