Stew it must be a tight fit with the C3 transmission. Is your radiator in front or on top of the engine? Im running a International truck radiator with the biggest electric fan I could find and a bypass of to a smaller rad and oil cooler on a separate fan at the rear. After alot of tweeking the coolings good. Hans I like the radiator fan set up you have and especially the gear linkages, that must have been a pain to design and build. Cheers David.

I've driven a carrier that had a 308 Holden v8 coupled to an auto box. (Dave, probably the same carrier you mentioned? Blackleys?) Hauled ass when you wanted it to, but got hot after relatively short run time. Nice for a first time carrier driver, but wouldn't ever go with an auto box myself.

Around here flatties are common enough that you don't have to think of anything else. Old Ford farm trucks had rebuilt motors put in them in the 1960s and saw little use after that before being abandoned. I must have a dozen of them lying around the yard. I don't pick them up anymore unless they look especially good .

Bedford boys I agree. The fun part of driving a carrier is all the throttle, steering and constant gear changing all done at the same time! As posted on Darrins thread top end speed isnt where you need it, its that low down torque thats required in a carrier. Hi Cletrac, my wifes brothers live in Bozeman Montana, maybe I should be sending them an e-mail

Well all of thus talk of alternative engines certainly gets one thinking...
To have my original 21 stud flathead V8 shirt blick rebuilt runs into around Aud $4,000 - without doubt the single most expensive phase of the restoration. A friends recently gave me a 4 Cylinder BMC Diesel engine ... I gyess I could make up some mounts & adapt it to fit temporarily - just until I win the lottery and have the flathead done. Food for thought Cheers Phill

i'm having a 24 stud rebuilt by a friend, i had figured on £700 but it will be more like £2000 by the time it's all together
 . sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and pay if you want it done right.there's a local chap with a t16 that's put in a ford 4d deisel engine and swears by it, the main advantage being the extra torque for steering rick
