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

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

Tank you winsteed for the picture and information.What is the purpose of the spacer blocks on the motor mounts?Does one belt drive the fan, pumps and generator?I can,t see the crank pulley in the picture. Thank,s again Frank

Many years ago I put an 8BA engine into a '36 Ford 1/2 ton pickup. We used the '49-50 Merc water pumps and merc motor mount spacer blocks. Had no trouble mounting the stock 8BA Fan. A friend of mine has an 8BA engine in his '37 Ford pickup, my friend used the same merc pumps and engine mounts, with the 8BA fan. Pix of my friends '37 w/8BA attached.

You might want to check out using a pusher and pull fan on the same radiator. I have heard that it is a bad idea.

Thank's for the reply coup.What year did the radiators on fords mount straight and not slanted, was that on the 38 models or 39 or am I wrong altogether? Frank

Thank you for the reply Sneezer using two fans a pusher and a puller may be a solution for him.I have a 16" pusher fan on my 36 I turn on during those real long parades.I wasn't aware they made two sizes unless yours is 12 volt.I have also been told that running distilled water with anti rust additive will make a car run about 20 degrees cooler also.
