Thank you for the information on the pitman arm, center link and PS gear. I appreciate it.
The CV engine is ok. But I want the big torque of a V8. The plan is to keep a factory looking interior and exterior but upgrade the engine, drive line, suspension and brakes, wheels and tires. I'm in a parts gathering mode and currently looking for the Monza V8 PS pump mounting bracket set. Does anyone have a set they would like to sell? If so, please let me know.
As a plan B, I've also been looking at some aftermarket brackets that mount the PS pump low and close to the block but I can't tell if there is room to clear the steering gear. Has anyone had success with these? I found a Mercruiser SBC PS pump bracket set (15083T) that mounts the pump off the cylinder head accessory bolt holes similar to the Monza v8, but looks like it may be for a long water pump. Not sure if these brackets could be morphed into a Monza set up.
Thoughts? Comments? Alternatives? Thanks in advance.
