Any fan pulley spacing considerations that need to be accounted for as well?
I think I addressed this (sort of) in the "8BA into '35 coupe" thread the other day. My take on this is that the difference is between the '35-'40 and '41 -'48 chassis, and is based on the work Hurst did when designing their engine mounting "system" for these old Fords (which called for the "U"-shaped spacers when installing their standard engine mounts into the ''35-'40 chassis).

Fans? You're on your own.
