The Ford Barn - View Single Post - What's needed to install a 24 stud into an earlier 21 stud car

Yeah, yeah, I expect some teasing...
Thinking of installing a 24 stud (1938) engine into a '36.
I have never done this but am confident it's been done once or most likely a zillion times.
So, my question... what exactly do I need for a smooth installation?
IE: are there "direct fit" hoses available?
What do I do about the lower pumps ('38) vs. the head pumps ('36)?

Thanks guys.
