There is enough good in the worst of us and enough bad in the best of us that it does not behoove any of us to criticize the rest of us.

It keeps me from trying to cram all that info into two cells

Or, was the longer shaft for both cars and trucks from '55-'62?

,eliminates the need to move the radiator forward and has the 3/8 grove as required for the correct pulley,so I dont know if his is from a car or not, looks like it is? his longer one is $75 for my truck and the shorter shaft is $93.45, I am still confused, is this short one a special design from him or is it a car one.. and , guess I need not worry because his short one is for a 55-62 eng and my is a 54 -235 eng, I did not know their was that much difference,,oh well,Fred

I just installed a 1954 235(truck engine) in my 1953 3100. No problems. If this helps any. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2000 Posts: 2,773 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2000 Posts: 2,773 | The standard water pump on the 54 will work. The pulley is separate, comes off when you remove the fan bolts. You should be able get a rebuilt pump at your local mom & pop parts store, if you need one. Should be far less than $75.
The 54 and early 55 235 have the water pump in the same location as the 216. Pump was moved in 55, and the engine compartment was lengthened. The "short shaft" pump being sold is to fit a 55 & later 235 in a 216 bay.
You now either understand or are completely comfused!

The pump is an original that I shortened with a press and grinder. The pulley is a fomoco one that I took off a junkyard truck. It bolted in perfectly. I run an electric fan, but there is a small amount of room in there for a mechanical fan if you want to. The radiator and motor mounts are in the stock location.
