Default Engines

Hi Geoff

The engine and radiator from a similar era Ford truck will probably fit OK - the engine almost certainly will - even the 49-54 8BA will fit but it's not the best option, partly because of throttle linkage incompatibilities due to the repositioning of the distributor, but any sidevalve V8 with a crab type distributor should be OK.
Many Ford CMPs here have radiators from other Ford trucks.
