Engine
Hi Dale , just out of interest, did you use a C59 block? and also, it might pay to swap your clutch lever for the correct one as I see you have a standard truck one on at the moment. You will probably have to un-bolt the g/box from the engine to do that, but you probably already knew that! Also was the gearbox out of a carrier? as the 2 lugs on the top, just make sure they do not interfere with when you change gear, Cheers Andrew.

Gear Change
Yes it is longer, about 6" , will get a pic today for you if it helps, The C59A are good blocks, the hotrodders like them because they can bore them out to 3 and 5/16th without breaking through the cylinder walls, I think I have even heard of them going out to 3 and 3/8th if the blocks will take it. I think they date from about 1947 onwards .Cheers Andrew

Rad
Hi Dale, can get a pic tomorrow of the correct pipes. Also remember the top left and right front corners of the metal surround of the rad are bent and angle forward to take the 2 x radiator stay rods.( there should already be a 5/16 hole there) Your rad has probably come straight out of a cmp, truck without this mod. Also the overflow tube has to be shortened with a joiner union put in the line to take the pipe to the rad overflow bypass valve. Cheers Andrew
