I also purchased a 251 engine from VPW and used the 230 water pump and front bracket. I welded extensions to the front "feet" of the engine mount to reach eht origi9nal bolt holes in x-member and used original bolts. As for radiator, I bought a new core and had it modified-return nect to top center from side and mounted it to the front of the U-radiator bracket. Since there was still no room for fan, I used a slim electric fan instead. Top belt pully clears it by about a 1/2 inch! Any more info email me.
