See below: Greetings! Recently I purchased a rebuilt short block for my 1959 Chevy 3200. It is now all built up and ready to go in... looking very pretty and clean enough to eat off.. My mechanic was about to install the engine today and could not because the block did not have holes drilled in the right places for the front motor mounts which are correct for the truck, on either side of the cross-member. It looks as if the block is intended to match up with a center mount, and my mechanic guessed that maybe the block is a passenger car block. Does this predicament sound familiar? Is there an adapter I can purchase which will cradle the engine and allow the mechanic to install this block? Or do I need to change the cross-member?

Antonio,
I also by fate own a 1953 chev pickup with a later 235 in it. I am just about
to order the short shaft water pump. There is a special fan that has to be
purchased (from Jim Carter) as I am told by them, that needs to go on this

Jeepers, I hope to not have problems getting the rad in, as I am ordering a new
rad at the same time, and new hoses top and bottom. I can't help you with this,
as I am not that far along. Perhaps someone else can advise us both.

Antonio, Search the archives in the 'oletrucks' list for 'flex-a-lite'. I don't know the part number right now cuz the work computer won't let me look at the archives and the MMM (mean mommy monster) saw fit to take all of my Pcup receipts when she hit the road. I put a water pump adapter on my Burb to bring up the fan and still use the short pump. Part # MEE390, page 89, $40.00 from Jim Carter. I would advise not to notch the fan cuz it might fail, as in one of the blades come off, and put a nice hole through your hood or through your head. That would be a bummer in my book. I have to bee nice to them Texans for one month cuz there was one that sent me some Pcup parts.

Re: [old-chevy-truck] Radiator installation help
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 Chevy Duty, can't remember which. Had the rad for about a year before I tried to install it. It hit the short shaft water pump. I called, explained the problem, and the guy new exactly what was wrong, had me ship the new one back and shipped me one that dropped right in. I had left the old leaky one at the radiator shop so I couldn't compare mounting points of the two. If I remember correctly, the 1st radiator I purchased sat with the top tilted back toward the water pump, now it sits perfectly vertical. I have a tad more than 1 of clearance between the fan and radiator. Could there be two different styles of radiator mounting flanges? I don't know. For the fan, I purchased an 18 flex fan, laid it on the garage floor with a sheet of 3/4 plywood on top of it, jumped on it a few times to flatten the blades a bit. Works fine, clears the dampener. Hope this helps, John, Milford, MI '51 Chev 3100 w/261 4BBL '75 Olds Delta 88 convert -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sat, 14 Apr 2007 12:21 AM Subject: [old-chevy-truck] Radiator installation help Dear fellow old iron lovers, So here is my dilemma.

RE: [old-chevy-truck] Radiator installation help
I modified my fan to fit in. I carefully ground off each blade what was needed (I even needed to grind more off because I put a 2 groove harmonic balancer in my 261 and it definitely hit the fan). Then I balanced the fan to make sure I wouldn't have any weird vibrations (I saw a fan blade let go once and it made a nasty hole in the hood). Very carefully examine your fan to make sure absolutely no stress cracks are present at the rivet points. As far as the fan hitting the shaft, you'd be surprised how untrue your original support may be. Torturing the support to fit the sheet metal and radiator will require automotive chiropractic work. I have a hefty 3/16 clearance between my radiator and water pump. So I used the best possible parts in that a part failure will result and one wasted radiator. Finally, you say new radiator. I've seen more new radiators not fit than do fit. I can only guess the QC is not where it needs to be. I always use original tanks and mounts and recore it to make sure it fits. What I mean is don't assume your new radiator is an acceptable fitment. Good luck.

[old-chevy-truck] Engine mount difficulties
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 block is meant to mount in the center, According to the pictures I took before I removed the old engine (before I got my new job and had to hire someone to finish the truck) the old block mounts attached on either side just behind the timing cover. Is it possible that we got a block that is not compatible with the cross member on my 59? Anybody have a clue? I got one nice reply so far which made me want to go back and re-examine the new block, which I will do next week. But I am still hoping someone knows about these blocks and can clear it up right away Thanks again so much Ole Chevy and GMC trucks rule!

[old-chevy-truck] Re: Engine mount difficulties
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 access it. I enjoy your postings. Thanks for the help. jonas On Apr 15, 2007, at 8:22 PM, Nate Filth wrote: Interesting as every '59 I ever saw had the side front engine mounts... If it has the one single mount , use the one off the old engine , you'll need to remove the oil pan to acess the two inner bolts that screw in through the front main from _inside_ the engine There used to be a writup on how to convert the front mount plate to external bolts . -Nate Jonas wrote: Again I apologize for repeating myself!

Hi Truckin Buddies, I was at Wavecrest 2006 in SoCal with my 1946 Plymouth Phantom Woodie and I saw this great Chevy Truck Woodie Suburban.
