Looking for a 35 Ford coupe grille. Mine got in a fender bender. Thanks

Does anyone on here happen to have a 35 Ford coupe grille they want to sell? Mine got in a fender bender. Thanks

Damage is bad. Didn`t notice it soon enough.

Thats what I meant.

Update: The guy that built the motor installed the gear on the cam that runs the oil pump backwards. Surprised I had oil pressure to start at all. Not good.

The engine builder won`t get to my motor till February. I`ll post what he finds in case this happens to anyone else.

JSeey,correct.

Ya it sucks. It`s in a 29 roadster and I was about to send it to the upholstery shop. I have to take it out very carefully.

Thanks for all the advice. I have a feeling it`s the knock off pump you described as he bought a lot of parts from Speedway. Pulling the motor the next day or two and bringing it to a reputable shop in Minneapolis. Thanks again, Dave

I have another flathead motor and the lines are in the same location. The return line is actually in the block above the oil pan.

This is the pressure line to the filter with the sending unit.

The return line to the block/oil pan comes out the side,pressure in the bottom.

Ronnieroadster,Yes I do have the beehive oil filter. Pressure in on the bottom and out the side. Pressure line in from rear of block right?

Bored and stroked, I was surprized to find how dirty the oil was after not even five minutes of run time ,if that. The old builder had to miss something,to bad he passed away last year.
