Yes, but you will need to change the pulley (easy).

in the thunderbirds there are 2 power steering pumps. one for the quick steer rack and one for the normal rack. the one I'm putting the SHO engine in is a turbo coupe with the quick steer rack. Will the SHO pump work with my rack because that would save me ALOT of time for bracket fabbing.

I seriously doubt that the T-Bird and SHO PS pumps are interchangeable. The SHO's belt driven accessories are Japan sourced where the T-Bird is a product of the good ol' US of A. The (small) fist sized SHO PS pump uses a remote reservoir due to its tight mounting location (those that have replaced them know exactly what I mean) and most domestic pumps use and integral reservoir.

well, that is why I asked because my PS pump has the external resivoir. I thought that they might be interchangeable as far as pressures go because the SHO is a sports sedan and the Turbo Coupe was a sports coupe. The altenator is also of a denso design and might interchange with plug ins. If all these things interchange, I just have to find out what it takes to make the A/C compressor adapt and then I will have all my bracketry but the motoro mount brackets done and ready to go in the car.

stupid me forgot to change the part lookup and it was keeping the part loaded for the SHO. oops

cool, this just answered my question as to if i could use an MTX pump on an ATX. can the seals be replaced in a leaky pump easily?

I would think you'd be better off going with a remanufactured unit with a lifetime warranty. Either way, you have to go through the effort to remove and reinstall the pump.

but the job's much easier with the engine out of the car!
