yes a good way to go would have been to use the flywheel from the 235 and use the original starter and then go to 12 v. But I didnt pay attention and just put in the 261 flywheel. I didnt realize the flywheels were different.
on a 46 2 ton, you cannot use the stock waterpump and fan from a 261 when you switch to a 261. The fan hits the lower radiator outlet on the radiator. and we are talking 2 inches of hit. It also pokes into the radiator. Running a short shaft waterpump only solves the problem of it hitting the radiator, it doesnt solve the issue of it hitting the lower radiator outlet.
