Chevrolet CMP Engine variants

[Phil Waterman]

Hi All

To try and help Rod and other people around the problem of the original front linkage not fitting the later style 216 (two hole) water pump either on a later 216 replacement engine or on 235-261 engine swap. I have loaded a whole bunch of pictures and some notes to my web page along with some notes that I hope to expand on. http://canadianmilitarypattern.com/T...age%20Page.htm

I took the route of fabricating completely new front cross over front crossover linkage and bracket instead of modifying the original. This preserves the original part and probably took about the same amount of time. Both of these linkage have been on the trucks and working for a number of years. Please note that the page is broken into Patter 12 and Pattern 13 versions.

Sorry for not posting it all on MLU but until I get it edited down it just too much stuff and too large of photos to fit on MLU.

Hope you find the pictures of some use. I'm going to go back and number the photos so once that is done please ask questions and I will try to provide more detailed information.

Cheers Phil
