Good information!!

Ever heard of intermittent power steering issues with LS1 pumps. My steering cuts out randomly and most of the time it doesn't work. I'm thinking pressure relief spring sticking... Car is a 64 impala with LS1/4l60e has a Delphi 600 steering box with stock LS1 pump..

Any help is appreciated

Is it like locking up under throttle ? I got them on my Chevelle for a while. I added a cooler to the return line (from a 02 Z28) and that resolved it.. The newer Pump have a higher pressure rating as compared to the old pump and box.. excessive pressure might be causing the Heat.

you might try adding a cooler or adjusting the Relief valve/spring.

Do you use the stock 3.8l bracket?

I dont think the bracket from a 3.8 would work, but a 5.7 bracket does. I got an aftermarket bracket from ebay for the f body acc. drives. I used a 3.8 pump, made a resivoir that sits on top of the pump. Right now the tank is at the anodizer, but I will post another pic when I get it back. Here is a pic without the tank.

A totally different option is to use a remote mounted Toyota MR2 Electric Pump/Res.

Could you post a little smaller picture, I can ALMOST see what it looks like.

Got any information on what year(s) to use and what the pressure rating is? Is it a simple two wire hook up or is it more complicated? Are they expensive? Are they reliable (I don't follow Toyota stuff)? ...and finally, how big is it?

This is interesting, but does the pump run the whole time the key is on? Or is there some kind of sensor that's supposed to be on the column to turn it on when the wheel is turned so much?

This is the Power Steering pump Kit I bought from Renegade Hybrids for my Porsche 996 LS3. Will be installing SOON.

For you guys that have done the 3.8 pump on the LS, does the pulley line up with the serpentine system well?

That electric power steering looks really good. @Fierofly

You can use just about any pump you want. Im using a northstar PS pump/res and S10 alt with my Techco build

The smaller shaft pumps like Fbodys use are almost 100% interchangeable. Common differences are the nipple pressed in for a remote res, and hole type. Threaded vs through

So what was the final outcome of this info? I need a power steering pump for my Ls1 swap. the v6 pump is much cheaper and easier to find.
