installing an 8ba into 36 coupe

I asked the same question a couple of weeks back. There was a good bit
of discussion . Do a search.
 
The things that make this a good swap are the new water pumps and the use of the SBC dist. Yhe dist will really waike these engines u[. The fan belt hits the old dist.

Well there! Couldn't be any more simple than that! THANKS!

Must be similar for a '40

The basic swap itself is fairly straightforward using Ford/Merc parts, but understand, it's NOT similar to a '40, especially when it comes to FAN clearance. The '36 RADIATOR leans back into the engine compartment at a significant angle, whereas the '40 radiator is straight up and down.....'40s are easy. Who has successfully come-up with a mechanical fan on an 8BA in a '36 that actually WORKS, and how did ya do it? We're not talking electric fans, nor converting front of engine to 59-style set-up.
