The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop Swapping 216 for 235 in 1951 Chevy Truck

I know on my old 216 the water pump sits up on the block and on the cylinder head. On my 235 the water pump sits down on the block about 3 inches lower not touching the cylinder head. I've read where having the fan lower could affect the cooling, so someone made an adapter to raise the pump back up about 3 inches. I'm planning to run mine and decide later if I need to move the pump up.
