Will the later engines work without any adaptations? I see a 1957 on Craigslist. My engine is bolted to a four speed in a 1946 truck. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 1,780 Master Gabster | | Master Gabster Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 1,780 | If you use all of your components including the bell housing I don;t see you having any problems installing a later 235 engine as long as it has the timing cover mount. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 | You will need to do something about the water pump. The most popular solution is the water pump adapter plate. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2012 Posts: 11 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Nov 2012 Posts: 11 | Is it that the pulley does not line up? | | | | | Joined: Apr 2012 Posts: 135 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2012 Posts: 135 | The fan won't be centered behind the radiator

Not being centered won't be a problem with a good cooling system. I have driven many miles with a later 235 with a shortened pump shaft and a 292 Ford pulley in a '55 first. | | |
