You continue to post this example when FordBarners ask for information or advice involving the swap of an 8BA into a '37 Ford passenger car. Your example is of an 8BA into a
'37 PICK-UP TRUCK. That information is very misleading and confusing to a new-comer or neophyte engine swapper asking for reliable information. The '37 pick-up radiator sits essentially straight up and down and presents no interference with an 8BA fan. A '37 CAR radiator leans rearward and presents mucho interference with an 8BA fan. WE should ALL make an effort not to lend any more confusion to the folks simply asking for accurate info. Like Joe Friday used to say on Dragnet...."Just the facts ma'am...just the facts!" DD
