Thread: New Build-1946 Ford Tudor Build

Jim,
Good to hear that the rear leaf spring set up may go in with little or no hassles. Dan, dad and I have a saying that "There are no true bolt ons" Perhaps this one may fool us!

There is a thread on the HAMB right now with a 41-48 sedan like mine getting a 302 swap in place of the flathead. He used chassis engineering mounts (tranny and engine) and it fits lengthwise. In a recent post though he said he would have moved the engine back a hair to get more radiator clearance so we shall see. He used a full serpentine belt set up off of a mid 80's Ford and it fit. His belt system is huge on the front of the engine so perhaps a v belt set up would give me a bit more clearance. He did have to mount his fan on the front of the radiator like as a "pusher". to get it in there. Not as efficient, but do able.

2bubbas- I am gaining alot of respect for these cars as I take mine apart. You need to get a build log going!
