Pat's progress on his '32 makes me look like a slacker (BTW, nice job, Pat!).
Between visits to the ER for food poisoning and a 2-week recovery, plus my wife's father passing last week, I have made little progress since I dropped the empty block and 700R4 in the chassis. However, I did mount the radiator (which must be mounted in a fixed position due to it being linked to the fender positioning) and checked water pump to radiator clearance. It looks like I will have to use a pusher electric fan on the front of the radiator, but I need to get some mechanical fan measurements before I commit to the electric fan.
Yesterday was the first day I was able to work on the car since January, and I started work on the transmission mount. Some photos of the current status are enclosed. Photo 6345 shows the clearance between the pump and radiator core. I have approx. 2" between the surface of the pump flange and the core surface, excluding the thickness of the pump pulley. I need to find a fan to see what the distance is from the fan mounting flange to the front edge of the fan blades to see if I have a chance of making a mechanical fan work. Because of personal experience, I won't use a flex fan. I also enclosed a photo of the roadster body in waiting.
