I'm building an A-V8 roadster using Tardel's book as a guide. It will be flathead powered, of course; a 1946 59a and 39 trans. I'm starting from a stock bare A chassis. In Tardel's book, the center of the motor mounts for this engine are supposed to be 3" back from the center of the radiator mount holes. I assume these are the two oblong holes on either side of the front crossmember. For some reason this doesn't look like what's pictured in the book. Just trying to make sure before I start tacking things together.
