SO I JUST PICKED UP A '42 WC-52 A COUPLE DAYS AGO AND IT WAS DELIVERED THIS MORNING(THE OLD-TIMER I BOUGHT IT FROM REFUSED TO ACCEPT THE NOTION THAT THE TRUCK WAS ANYTHING BUT A 1947...WHICH IS WHAT THE TITLE SAYS). ANYHOW, THE FELLA WHO DELIVERED IT SEEMED TO KNOW A CERTAIN AMOUNT ABOUT THE HISTORY OF THE TRUCK, INCLUDING THE FACT THAT THE POWERPLANT HAD A MERE 40(APPR.) ACTUAL HOURS ON IT! APPARENTLY IT WAS A CRATE MOTOR OF SOME KIND SO I'M ASSUMING THAT IT WAS NEW. WHOEVER DID THE INSTALL UTILIZED SOME SERIOUS CAVEMAN TACTICS WHEN DEALING WITH THE RADIATOR SUCH THAT THE SHROUD WAS NOT REINSTALLED AND THE SHEET METAL ON THE NOSE OF THE COWL IS A PATCHWORK MESS. TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT...I NEED TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE IN HEAD LENGTH BETWEEN THE 231 AND THE 251. DO YOU THINK THE 251 WOULD REQUIRE MODIFICATIONS? THANKS
