I put a 51 8rt truck engine in my 40, I used the original fender support but cut the cross piece off and the crank pulley cleared good and I never had problems with the fenders or rattling. I used the upper fan pulley setup to put the fan in the upper radiator area and I didn't have any problems with clearing the hoses. I also installed a pusher fan down low and in front of the radiator with a piece of flat aluminum above the fan to keep the air from going straight up instead of going through radiator. Rarely used the electric fan. I just used another hose section on the water outlets on the small neck of the head outlets, cheap and worked good. I like the Flathead Jack water outlet idea better. I also used the truck 10 inch clutch and pressure plate, I can't see much weight difference, the 15 extra horsepower of the truck engine was just perfect.
