In Reply to: 251cui swap - what does it take posted by Drew Rogers on Saturday, March 03, 2001 at 1:37AM :
i'll try this again,, between my server and the " fong security device" i am havind trouble ..
251 blck measured at the head is 25 inches, the 230 is 23. the swap was i am told common in the "old days" . generaly ment moving radiator to front of core support, and making accomidation for front engine mounts. such a swap would not be a difficulty with the cone shaped nose section used on the '39 to '47 civi 2x trucks, but the exposed radiator cap on a PW would make relocating radiator a challange. second problem is room for relocat1on,, i'd have to scrutinise the WDX radiator/ nose assembly i have stashed on my radiator shelf, but i do not know if you would have enough room to move radiator forward even if you overcome the cap delema..
mesure twice, cut once...
