hey guy,s , just got an original 39 ford coupe w/ the v-8 60 engine,it came w/ the hot air engine heater from the factory- but the engine bay parts are missing now, was thinking of installing a small hot water heater from speedway w/ built in blower-2 problems i can see - will the 6 volt system make the blower work ? and where do you put the hot water hoses to engine-? thyere is a blocked off plug at top left cylinder head, where one could go , but i dont see any other accesses, - thanks martin
 
Also suggest trying the V8 section. You will probably find there is a nipple that goes into the lower radiator hose (available from suppliers) for the heater hose. The Early Ford V8 Club (earlyfordv8.org) has a set of restoration guidelines that would probably cover it. If the car is original and you intend to keep it get the guidelines as they will pay for themselves.
