I just bought a 1940 Plymouth truck. Mostly complete, but missing fan, water pump, air cleaner and oil filter. I was planning on simply replacing those items and driving it, but my block (the 23 inch version) is cracked.
There is a running Chrysler industrial block for sale locally, but I'm guessing it's the 25 inch version.
Has anyone done this swap on this bodystyle trucK? Or does anyone in the Denver, CO area have a 23 inch block for sale?
From what I have read on this site, It sounds like I would have to fabricate a new front crossmember and potentially relocate the radiator. I don't have any issues building a crossmember, but I don't know if I care to chance not being able to fit my radiator.
Thanks,
Dave
