I need some help I swapped from a 4.3 to a 5.7 iroc z serpentine set up (iroc z looks lower and better in my opinion) i can’t seem to lign up the power steering up to the crank pulley and it throws the belt. Is the crank and water pump pulley different from these two engines?

Thanks guys

Is the power steerring pulley pressed on all the way? On a recent pump swap, I was off by probably less the a 1/16" and got horrible belt squeal.

So if you're really off, it might be able to throw the bekt.

I ended up purchasing a pulley tool and made sure it’s installed as far as it will go. I am just having no luck my next step is to try iroc z crank and water pump pulleys

Update
I had to set the power steering pump back by placing washers in between the pump and brackets. It’s not perfect but it should work.
