Good luck fitting a Stag pump to a dolomite block.
It doesnt have the required cylinder bank for starters....

Re: power steering? ...
The list of ways to do it goes on,lol, im thinking about the montego way it seems be what I'm thinking of from the start, ,, using simple mods and hydraulic system, ,,,, does that monty pump need a modded bracket to fit in the sprint engine?

Re: power steering? ...
If you use a belt driven pump, wherever you source it from, it will need bespoke bracketry to fit it and almost certainly a bespoke front crank pulley. Also any power rack is physically much bigger (fatter) than a manual one so clearance between engine and crossmember becomes an issue. If it was easy, I suspect there would be far more PAS equipped Dollies running around than the approximate NONE that exist at the moment! Another indicator is the fact that the factory never tried to do it either! I'm only attempting it because my Automatic car gives me a bit more space inside to fit the electric setup and even that is fraught with problems!
