thanks  i have trid this but from what i found out today in 1979 and pryor toyota never had p/s so the heads wernt cast with the bolts holes to mount it now my info my be wrong but that is what all the wrecking yard are telling me thay all say i need a 300 head i can get a whol motor for that

[WHITE_TRASH]

why not fab your own bracket? it isnt that hard to do.  I do stuff like that for my friends all the time heck for the money that they want for the head you could have a shop build a bracket and have it chromed!!!

my celica was an 80 with a 20R. I think it's still siting in the junkyard.

right an 80 has the bolr holes in the head to have p/s and 79 dident i can swap the head and get 3 outa 4 holes but i like my head so ill fab a braket

so ill fab a braket

In my experience, its easiest to make a plate that bolts up to your engine and then adapts to the bolt pattern of the pump's original bracket.
