Default 36 LB engine update

I thought I should post that all turned out well with my '36 engine. After sorting through issues of no oil pressure and insufficient fan clearance, generator problems, wrong radiator for the car, everything came together and it fired right up and ran smooth.

I got a lot of help from the Fordbarners, thank you very much!

Here is a picture of the engine from the other day:



Here is one taken the day I installed it into the car:



Most of the motive power issues have been worked out, so I am now embarking on wiring harness and body work.
