m376x6

The administartors closed the thread because it actually belongs in the classifieds. By reading the post I have questions. It states it has a 251. These were used in the Canadian versions. Because the 251 is 2 inches longer than the stock US M37 235cuin engine, the folks in the north had a slightly different truck. The radiator was moved forward and an extension for the hood was grafted on as well as other small diferences to account for the longer block. As I looked at the pictures of this truck, I see no modifications to either the length of the hood or the firewall and/or the position of the transmission stickshift. How does one fit a 25 inch long block in a 23 inch long compartment? It has been a long time since I owned a Canadian version, my memory might be skewed (perhaps failing). Are there any folks such as CitizenSoldier or others who are very familiar with these trucks and still own them who would care to chime in? Thanks
