The Ford Barn - View Single Post - 6 Cylinder/V-8 Swap In `51 F1

Shadetree · 03-25-2012, 11:13 AM

Does anyone know if the radiator core on a six cylinder `51 F1 pickup has the same dimensions as that of a flathead V-8? The tank measures about 2 3/4 inches across but the core is recessed under the tank like it could be smaller than that of a V-8.

Thanks,
Shadetree
