My 53 has/had the 235 in it. I'm out of state working now and should be home in a couple of weeks. I will be ready to start then. with my blower oil pump drive and crank fired ignition I have to move it back into the cab about 7" inches or so. Also my radiator and fan are about 8" thick so I will be moving the radiator as far forward as I can I had a mid shift kit put on my TKO 600 5 speed. It's going to get interesting.
