Since I'm the bozo that helped Heard design and develop the fan he runs on his coupe, I'm going to post the link just below with the full story and a bunch of pictures. If you want to see a few more pictures or have any questions, just ask either Heard or myself. This should work on any '35 or '36 (W/8BA) with the radiator slanting rearward. DD

So, are you going to re-do all the spark plug threads, or just the one that failed?
I'm probably going to do all of them at this point. Once I get it cleaned up I'll look really closely at those threads but like I said earlier, I know some of them are a little weak. You know how you get that feeling when you are tightening up a bolt and it feels like it should be just a little bit tighter but you're afraid it is going to strip??? Yeah....some of them are like that.
And speaking of the fan, I think I'll put some thermostats in while I'm at it. It takes forever to get this thing up to operating temps.

You think maybe you made that damned fan TOO big? …...Naaah! DD

Heard,
Do you have any idea if those heads have ever been resurfaced?

I really don't. They were on the car when I bought it and the previous owner didn't say much about them except that they were rare. If you can believe it, I was even MORE of a newbie then and wasn't smart enough to ask more questions.
