The 38.50 SX tires, were spelling quick death for the mustang PS pump.
So with the advice of CJ Dean, and everyone else who helped out with info, and with no help from AGR, who said they had tried repeatedly without success to modify the existing Ford Serpentine bracket to accept a Saginaw, I proceeded to modify the Ford bracket.
It took about 4 hours, and even retains the use of the exhisting serpentine belt.
I used a pump from an 80's 1 ton, deisel equiped truck, with the provision for the hydro boost. I got a press on serpentine pulley from a late model Camaro.
The bracket consists of cutting away the center section of the Ford bracket to make room for the saginaw, and then sandwiching that section with a front bracket for support and a rear bracket for propper allignment and depth.
I ran the hydroboost line to my auxillary remote reservoir along with the low pressure return, line then fed to a cooler and back to the pump.
The ststem holds over 3 quarts.
I will test it at the Hammers this weekend.
Thanks for the help,
Here is a pic of the completed bracket with pump installed

And installed, everything lines up, and i didnt have to modify the existing york, or any other brackets.
