Goodness man, you are now my #1 Essex hero. That's true love of the Essex right there.

If I had a set of Taurus SHO swaybars, they'd be yours. You deserve it. :)

If you remove both lower engine mount nuts, you can jack the engine up about 4-5 inches, this makes doing the water pump a breeze...........:cool:
