Great find. Congrats and one step closer to that "driveline swap" you mentioned. thumbs_up

With the low position of the water pump on the 1959 235 (as compared to your original engine), you may need to consider relocating the pump to the higher "truck" position to get the most out of your fan alignment and air flow through the radiator for proper cooling.

Here's a previous conversation referring to a fellow Bolter and his "water pump" relocation plate that helps solve that problem which may be of interest in your future plans.

There are a number of other such conversations on the topic, but most deal with installing later 235's into trucks newer than your '36. Since your install of the 1959 235 into the 1936 truck might be a bit different, you may want to post a question about the water pump relocation in the Engine Shop. smile
