big block swap parts do not match up, need some help!

[us74k5]

So I got my big block in last night, here are two problems I am noticing right away. The bracket on the power steering pump is slightly too small to bolt up to the water pump on the engine. Also, on my 350 that was in there, there were two lines that ran above the oil filter to the cooler, on this big block it looks like only one, and its not the same as the one i had in there before. Do you guys know where I can get these parts? Or what I should do? I tried autozone, and they were clueless, as well as shcucks.... big supprise there:-) Thanks in advance.

there is a diff between bbc & sbc accessory mounts, there is a kit you can buy that has the pieces that allow sbc accessories to bolt up on a big block...iirc there is a thread here on ck5, that discusses this...i'll see if i can find it and post a link.

The BBC accessories and SBC accessories are not compatible. It's been my experience that you about have to have all the accessories off of a specific vehicle to have everything line up at least as far as Big Blocks are concerned. Here's what I did to combat that problem. It ends up being way more sanitary.

If the oil cooler lines are in good shape from the 350, and the fittings don't match the bbc, swap the oil filter adapters and the one from the 350 will bolt to the bbc, they bolt to the block under the filter.
