Guys, I'm looking at installing a CVF serpentine belt system on my '68 Newport when the new 440 gets installed. From what I have read so far, I need to convert over to a Saginaw power steering pump from the TRW style it has now. I've heard the hoses are different and that I'll need new ones or a conversion kit to change pump styles. Can someone definitively tell me what I need and where to get it? All I have found so far for hoses are these:


BPE Premade Saginaw Power Steering Lines / Hose - Bouchillon Performance Engineering

As you can see these are for Fusies. Will these work on a slabby?
 
The normal power steering hoses did change a small bit from year to year, but ALL of the engine compartments are laid out the same in almost exactly the same dimensions (related to many things, including the power steering hoses). The Saginaw pump became the Chrysler OEM pump by 1970 or so, so the Bouchillon and Mancini items will probably work as desired, I suspect.

DO contact them to verify, though. And know the length of the current hoses to compare with what is in the serp belt kits.

Just some thoughts,
