Does anyone know if there is such a thing as electric p/s pumps for small block chevy? I have a hydro winch and like the power of it but the engine has to run to make it work. May be a stupid question but had to ask.

If it is electirc why would it need to be for a "small block chevy"?

Wouldn't any 12V volt power steering pump work?

Toyota MR2's used electric PS pumps... you might want to start with something like that.

12 volt power unit for a lift gate or dump body is what your describing... why don't you buy a electric winch and skip the B.S ?

X2, You're describing, basically, a dual-powered winch system.
Remember K.I.S.S. ( keep it simple, s&*#@~ )

I know someone who tried a electric pump on a full hydro setup, it worked fine but was really loud so he went back a normal style pump.
