Awhile back several people on the forum answered my 251 questions. Thanks!! Sorry, but here's some more. I just bought a '46 2wd 1 ton with a 251-type (longer) engine. The head says SPITFIRE and the vertical throttle linkage shaft leads me to believe it's from a car. First, what's diffrent about the Spitfire engine? Second, Maybe someone just put the cool head on the stock motor? Would block numbers provide that info? Third, I'm running a '60 230 in my '56 C-4. What would putting in the longer engine involve? I'm guessing the radiator would have to go forward, but it fills through the nose. How's it done on the post-'61s? Fourth, my '53 CDN M-37 seems to have the same engine compartment dimensions as my brother's '68 (US). How was the longer engine installed in the M-37s? Thanks in advance for your help!!
