Instead of using a short water pump which places the fan too low on the radiator, a fellow ‘Bolter, Pre '68 Dave designed and offers a pump relocation kit that will put an original 216 water pump in the correct "sweet" spot for getting that engine in your truck and providing the best cooling.

Check out his website for a ton of great info 235's and the relocation adaptor kit!

You can send him a PM thru this site to purchase his adaptor kit.
