Antonio,
Search the archives in the 'oletrucks' list for 'flex-a-lite'. I

Hi,
When I installed a '57 261 in my '51 3100 many years ago, I ran into the same
problem with the radiator and fan.
I had ordered a new (std, not desert cooler) radiator from either Harmon's or

Again I apologize for repeating myself!
I replaced the block on my 235 in my 59 3200 and now it is built up
and ready to install. My mechanic says that the new block is not
drilled the same way as the old block and he cannot use the same
mounting plate in the front. He thinks the new
Oh I forgot to reply! The new block is the weird one. The old one
had the mounts you described on the sides. I got it from Jim Carter
as a short block --- they have not replied yet. But your solution
sounds very do-able. If you ever come across that article, let me
know how to
