Using the 8RT water pumps allows you to use the wide belt and stock motor mounts. The fan bracket on the 48-53 trucks mounts on the generator mount and may not be in the best position to cool a 1935 radiator. On the 1940 cars, it is too far from the radiator. You can see the belt configuration on this link: http://www.oldcarbrochures.com/static/NA/Ford/1949%20Ford/1949%20Ford%20Brochure/image4.html

Thank you TomO for the link and information,I will give it to the gentleman with the 35 this weekend at the next local show.It is all confusing to me as my 36 is stock.I can only gather that he needs to use the wide pulley (rt) truck pumps with the mount adapters.I'm not sure what pumps he is using now,but it looked like they were sticking out rather far and they bolted to his stock frame mounts which surprised me.I don't know what the mount adapters do but I take it that's what you need to use the( rt) pumps.Hopefully he will join the club and get on the forum himself.He is doing a great job on restoring his car given the pictures of what he had to start with. Thank's again Frank

Many years ago I also put a 8BA in my 36 4dr all I remember all went well but had to play a fan game. Don't remember what fan but was mounted on the generator. I know it was not a Ford fan. So it is doable...sam

I am considering of putting a 49 Merc. in my 34 coupe but plan to use the 46 water pumps, heads and a cr*p cap distributor due to the tight space. Plan to use an electric fan if I can't fit the fan. Has anyone seen this done? A second question: when you place an 8BA engine in a 32 thru 38, do you set the engine level by using the intake deck as means to get the engine level?
