Juanito,

Slap a V-8, complete with steering pump, in your rig and don't agonize over PS pump brackets. To view the recent discussion of PS systems, have a look at:

Hi Juanito,

If you're getting Brownell's book, be sure to get the new edition, released in 2004. The tinyurl link is to the first edition.

There are all manner of motor mount kits out there. My truck had those weird front motor mounts, too, but a tubular motor mount kit took care of that . . . and it was cheap.
