My engine in my 55 Belair is non rebuildable. Someone is selling a 235 out of a 57 truck. Is there any differences or will it fit with no problem? I read that water pump might be bigger and fan would have to be moved. Thanks, Sean

Hy Sean e, as far as I know the 57 truck engine will bolt right in if you configure it with your car engines accessory parts, hope that helps.

The water pump issue occurs when a 1955 second series or later engine is installed in a 1955 first series or earlier truck. You should have no problems there.

It will bolt right in!
A 1957 truck engine is not drilled for hydraulic lifters, if that makes a difference to you.


See the USA in your vintage Chevrolet!
