Not true Vic , The blower mounts to the head and pushes air through the forward hole in the heat exchanger. The heated air comes out of the rear hole through a flexible sleeve(originally made from asbestos ) up through a large elbow with the silencer then in the car. The 39s did not have the shroud or collector that hung from the radiator. Best way to check the heat exchanger is to fill it with water up to the two large holes then check for leaks inside the exhaust outlet.
