So, did the '54 235 use the same fan blade as the earlier 216/235 engines? Or, did they use the same blade as the later (55-62) 235 engines?
Thanks

I'm sure a few people would appreciate a good look at a stock pcv system. Thanks, Cosmo.

But first, I've got to get the engine home and back together. I've taken off the air cleaner, carb, manifolds, generator, fuel pump, breather pipe and distributor so they don't get banged up when the salvage yard folks yank it out of the truck next week. I don't think they are too careful sometimes. I also wanted to make sure I got all the parts. Anyway, when I put it on the stand to clean up, I'll put the PCV setup back on it and take some pictures with my Dad's digital camera. Can't afford one of my own 'cause this truck is eating me out of house and garage!  But, I still want to know about the fan blade issue. Anyone out there know???? :confused: | | |

I don't know, and I didn't buy the truck btw.
Can I add a question to a question? Were there 5 bladed fan blades used on bigger trucks that work better on the little trucks?, I heard this somewhere, and since I'm towing an old camper trailer I'd like all the extra I can get,,,,,ALOHA!!! | | |
