Gordon, John,
The water distribution tube was available in a naval bronze, I think, for the Chrysler Marine Ace. It will slip right into the half ton engine. The bigger Crown engine is the counterpart of the 251-265, so water tubes for that one are also available in the same metal. Those engines were raw water cooled, and a steel tube wouldn't have lasted long in salt water. The marine tubes are about $35 when you can find them.
