so have had a good bit of fun with the power steering bracket cracking, and blowing the pump.

the engine has seen better days, service and a retune soon will hopefully help it along a bit, aiming for a blown 502 bbc conversion to start late this year

mine spun the pulley shaft right out of the pump. easy fix though, go to the wreckers and look for an early ford XC, XD, XE pump. the pulleys are only about 3mm shorter than our stockies. i spaced my crankshaft pulley with a couple of washers. the fitting for the hpressure feed will need to be swapped over and youll need to use the XC mounting bolts cos' they are metric, but itll bolt into the old pumps spot.

i did a bit of it in my thread a while back. ill see if i can dig it up. cheap fix. cost me about 25 bucks plus fuel.

i agree with this idea

sorry boys not much has changed with it, just a nice scratch someone left in my door from a carpark, and bit of an update, on the weekend #### knows how, but managed to pop off the harmonic balancer while i was driving which slipped the power steering belt off as well as the water pump belt, so am gonna be having to have a look and see if it's done any sort of crankshaft damage, or if there was any engine damage done, the engine did get pretty hot as it mustve dropped it all at the lights and i didnt notice till i saw the temp rising quick and almost had a heart attack trying to take a corner to pull over, could be just the motivation i need for the big block

thanks mate, hopefully it'll pull up how i picture it in my head
