Default power steering pumps

Hi,

I bought a used LS6 from someone and it came with a f-body front accessory drive setup. The only problem is that the seller didn't include the power steering pump, but did include the brackets.

I'm looking for a power steering pump both in the local junk yards and online.

what power steering pumps are compatible?

f-body v6?
corvette?
truck pumps?

also if i were to purchase one online, where do you recommend that i find a cheap used or rebuilt one. I just need to get this swap car on the road ASAP.

thanks in advance

If you have the budget, TurnOne makes the best steering pumps for these cars. TurnOne will re-build the stock ones for about half the price of their new unit.

thanks for the help guys. I was really looking into the turn one pumps, but that price makes me cringe a little. how is the pulley held onto the pump shaft?
