Ken, you can deliver that free Grain Belt beer this weekend during the SW Wyoming PW Rally!! The notice is a bit short, but I'll come up with something.
Steve Wataha installed an industrial 265 into my '49 Power Wagon and did a great job of it. He moved the radiator and shroud forward and the cab back on the frame mounts just enough to fit the longer 265 into the engine compartment. He had the cooling fan milled to clear the back of the radiator. I'll try to send a picture of the fan to you Joe so you can see what I mean. The hood still is all original and fits the opening quite well. The front motor mount was modified to accept the longer engine. It can be done, but you will probably have to fit and adjust quite a bit to make it work.
