Poorboy, It really seems to have a mind of its own as to where it wants to go. The hemi has been in the car about three years and has been fine until now. I had rea about the pump issues when I was doing the swap, but until now have had no problems. Maybe the suspension is now worn enough to cause what you are saying? I just rebuilt the suspension on my son;s valiant this spring and my knees are still hurting from it! I guess I should have went through everything on the car while the motor was out, but the wife had to quit her job because of her back, and anything hemi is expensive!
