Will a 305A front timing cover/housing fit a 351C?
I'm getting a 1964 351C engine delivered here early this coming week. It has the big truck front timing cover/water pump housing assembly on it, with the radiator fan mounted off the crankshaft. This will not work as I am putting it into a 1962 GMC 1000 engine bay where my 305D sits right now.
Another forum member has a 305A front cover assembly he will sell me and personally deliver to my house even! I need to make sure this front cover swap is compatible before they drive it 3 states away and deliver it en route to a wedding....
Any idea? I figured it probably was, but then again, the 305A was substantially lighter in weight than the 305E and the rest of the engine family. I figured there may be something to that. If the weight savings is in the front cover, but it still fits, that would be excellent!
Thanks everyone,
