    austin 92, Good ol' fashioned ENGINE-NEWITY, lol. I like it. Although may not be so good for the sidewalls and steel belts in the tires longterm? Also, the suggestion you made Wes, was/is probably the best option, and, though a bit spendy, although I will consider it. THANKS all! Sent from...

    Remove, weld, reinstall power steering pump bracket?

    Well, just wanted to follow up on the result. My friend payed the full amount in the end and it was justified. It turns out they had to ez out a sheared bolt that broke off the block and the welder put much more time in welding the back end of the original power steering pump bracket and...
