Default Re: 51 Merc v/8 into 40 ford

dixiedlx.......One of the problems you may run into on a '40 with a HIGHER-mounted fan is the fan blades trying to share the same real estate with the upper radiator hoses. '40's don't run particularly warmer than other years, as long as your block's water jackets and radiator are squeeky clean, and make sure ALL of the air deflecting/guiding sheet metal pieces are in place. Factory-designed and implemented for a good reason. DD
