Good morning. All of my posts thus far have been in the Early V8 section, since I have a '35 Tudor Sedan. However, I will soon be on the lookout for a Model A Roadster or a 5 Window Coupe. Thus, I need some advice. I am currently building an 8BA that came out of an early 50's passenger car ('53 Customline to be exact). My original plan was to put the engine in my '35. But, after thinking more about it, I have decided to leave that car in its "mostly" original state. So, my plan is to put it into the car that I don't currently have. Ha ha. I've been told that the current oil pan & generator/fan mount will not work in an A. Can someone confirm or deny this to be true? If it is true, can you suggest what exactly I need to be looking for? Thank you!

Basically the engine is too long when compared to a pre '48. Since I never had the need I haven't paid too much attention to details. Be sure to also post your question on HAMB: https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/
