Have you done a compression check on the engine? It would be easier to repower than rebuild a£ that if the engine has pör compression. If you have good compression i would say look for a new midsection. The steering arms are obsolete. I could never find one for my Johnson. As for steering, i say be on the safe side and buy a new system. It sounds like sitting has froze some components on that engine.
I tried to edit this earlier, but my phone wouldn't cooperate.
You may be able to save the steering shaft if its not rusted, and reuse it with new bearings,seals etc. Also Welcome to the site. Post pics, a picture is worth a thousand words.
