51 ford car-radiator placement
I went through this over 10 years ago and just can't remember. In a 6 cylinder car the radiator mounts ahead of the core support. In a V8 the rad mounts behind the support. Are there 2 different supports or (dare I say) like in a 55 chev, the radiator simply mounts in the front or back position? Thanks!

I looked in my restorer’s guide but didnt see anything. Maybe the shop manual… You might try calling Chris at Shoebox central. Ken

Re: 51 ford car-radiator placement
Lee at Brassworks would know. I know they are super busy but when I ordered the radiator for my '39 p/u he spent a lot of time on the phone and by email to insure everything was correct. Nice guy on the phone and in person as well when I picked it up.

Thanks for the response, I know the radiators mount in different positions, what I don't remember is if a different core support is needed, I am checking my service manual as I type this. Thank you.

Re: 51 ford car-radiator placement
The stamped u shaped core support is the same regardless of engine, 8A-16139. The sheet metal air deflector above the radiator is different, 8HA-8327 for the 6 cylinder.

The book is 1949 50 51 Ford book, a restorer’s guide, published by the early Ford v8 club

Re: 51 ford car-radiator placement
The IPB also lists different front portions of the inner fenders (where the air inlets are for the interior heating and ventilation). I don't know for sure, but I guess for battery box installation. These are 8HA-16043 and 8HA-16055. Once had a 6 cyl car that had been retrofitted with a V8 and it fit fine; they never even changed the grille bullet so I know they didn't change the inner fenders!
This would be a good question with pictorial differences for the EFV8 49-51 advisor. |

Re: 51 ford car-radiator placement
The 6 cylinder passenger side inner fender has a removable panel to allow access for servicing the valves.
