Flathead parts interchangeably


Recommended Posts

Hello, I’m starting to get ready to gather parts for a rebuild on my 1950 truck 228. My plan is to use the crank and rods out of a 251 from a truck, and bore the 228 out to the standard 251 size. My question is this, is there a difference between a 251 from a truck, and one from a car? I generally order parts from Rock Auto, and they list most of what I need if I look under a 1950 Chrysler Windsor with a 251, but under a ‘50 truck with the 251 they don’t lost any of what I need (pistons, rings, bearings and so on). Are they that different? I was under the impression that they’d be exactly the same?
