Well... I found an picture on my phone of my engine and I have power steering. Since my block is trash, can I remove the p/s brackets/ pump and put them on the 1985 140 3.0 engine? Looks like I would also have to change the pulley (see pic). How difficult is that to change?

the pulley swap is a 5 minute job. I suspect all the p/s brackets will bolt right on to the older 3.0. I wouldn't bet my life that all the same holes are there, but probably, and if they aren't, there will be a simple workaround.
