This really needs to be in the C3 forum. Some punctuation and proof reading may also help you with getting a helpfull response.

I don't know why the engine size (in this case) would affect the ability to install power steering.

I agree with the above posts. The power steering is attached to the block and to the motor mount. I don't believe that the bosses on the blocks are different between the 327 and the 350..

Not all motors have an oil pan that will clear the power steering equipment. That might be part of it.

You make an excellent point, I forgot about the 5 vs 6 quart pan on the mid 60s vettes.

Yes that is true but the Original poster is not very clear in what he/she is asking...
