Hi members,

Regard 427 engine, the raw water pump mounting (pivot) bolt that fastens to the oil pan has broken off. I attempted extracting it with easy-outs and have broken those off also. I am in search of a metro Detroit machine shop that could drill out the broken stud, weld the hole and re-drill and tap for the bolt. Does anybody have a reference of a good machine shop that can do this work?

Thank you, Chris Benedict
