Hi - Sorry to talk about trucks instead of guns, but I have an engine choice question: I am about to order a remanufactured engine (at someone's suggestion...
I think a 1954 Chevy pickup 235 is the best combination of fit and engineering. If I remember correctly the '54 pickup motor has pressure oil, the short water...
Two things I would think about are what tranny and rear end ratios would I be using with a newer engine. More horsepower with the orignal tranny and rear end ...
As it turned out, it took a 5/16" 18 Heli Coil to do mine. The holes in the main cap were larger than the 1/4" 20 Heli Coil could fill. Nonetheless the 5/16"...
Michael I replaced the engine in my '50 3100 with a rebuilt 235 out of a 54 truck. Very pleased wth the performance. Full pressure oil, and I followed that...
ANY? Well then, I say go for the last year the 261 was offered; that would be 1962. It will slip right in with a change in water pump (short shaft). Keep...

As long as we're still talking about it, and why not, I guess I'll steer it to vaguely truck related and ask about Kansas laws. Can you drive in Kansas and...
Thanks everyone for your input - Allen, I want it to look mostly original, (no 350!!) but it does not have to be exact. It already has a 235 anyway, so there...

There are just 2 bosses (one on each side) that you can mount (with bolts) engine mount brackets to. They are basically flat mounting areas; they do not stick...
I am puting this on my 235 and unfortunately my alternator is on the head to the left side so the later 235 brackets wont fit. I plan on putting the PS pump...

I would say that there were more two row pulleys than one rows. The hydroboost equipped vehicles did not have an extra pressure port out of the pump but did...
I am heavily biased by my long experiance of farm and junker trucks . I'd say ask for a 261 from a 1962 C-60 schoolbus . you'll get a '57 ~ '62 261 engine ,...
