FYI: The 226 flathead is the ONLY other motor that can be put in place of the 230 WITHOUT changing anything including the bellhousing, radiator, motor mounts, etc.
That is a civvy 230 as far as engine mounts go...

After a long conversation with the owner of the truck, I purchased it. He seems to think from information he got from the PO that the engine came in the truck? I explained to him that the engine wasn't used in these trucks and he seemed pretty sure that it had this engine in it when it was released from the military. I have other designs for the truck, but it does make you wonder. Snakeater
I suppose its possible...but it would have been someones cobbled together unauthorized version most likely...
that was my thinking. Motorpool with too much free time and not enough engines. it's coming out unless i can find any kind of verification that it is factory. i have little hope of that. looks like a good place to put the 4bt i bought a couple days ago. going after it next week anyone in the area want to assist? i will most likely have th recover it by myself.

All right, nice work. I'm glad I could help someone else find a way to spend their money :)Quote:

Unfortunately, I won't be in the area next week to help out. Good luck!
actually after consulting my calender will most likely be next weekend around the 10th or 11th. That will be the soonest that I can get fre to get up there. Snakeater
