My 59’ 235’ in my 52’ 3100 was originally a long shaft with the radiator mounted in front of the fan support. Although I did not drive it on the road for more than a few miles, I did run it several times up to temperature (180 degrees) without it overheating. I have since changed it over, by installing the relocation plate with the original 216 water pump, then relocating the radiator back to its original location. A project I highly recommend.

However, after reading the above post it sounds like you are very frustrated and somewhat all over the place without really ruling out possible issues. I have been there and feel you pain.

You originally started this thread questioning the timing. Dragsix posted an excellent procedure on timing the 235. You have to eliminate some of the possibilities, and that’s a great place to start. Besides it doesn’t cost you anything. That’s where I would start.
