Also, sent coil and water pumps to SKIP this morning.
 
Mac's parts arrived today, removed lower hoses this evening, old hoses were as hard as a rock, then removed the motor mounts, when I had looked at them there were strings of material hanging down for the passenger side mount, ( like it was melting ) finally got both of them out. Now I opened package with new motor mounts, BUT something is not working out, first the hole is cross member is smaller than the lower bushing, looks to be 5/8" hole and the bossed part of lower bushing is 7/8", also the top side of cross member is recessed, the large washer is bigger than the recess, any info is appreciated!!!

The mounts you got from Macs are not correct for the 34. They are junk. They dont have the correct lower mount and the upper mount does not have the metal insert in it. Give Joblot a call and tell them what you need , they may have nos ones or Dennis Carpenter..
 
Thank you, I thought I would start by grinding of the lower shoulder bushing, cutting down the upper washer, nothing fits, I called Don P. to show him the photos, we even thought of opening the cross member hole to 7/8" but still does not help the recess in top of cross member, thanks for help, thought is was just me, Bruce
(Joblot, who or how do I reach him/them) I will look at Dennis Carpenter now.
 
Have started re-assembly of engine, motor mounts and lower radiator hoses. Waiting on coil for distributor and water pumps before any more parts placed on engine. Also, removed all the front end wiring today, very oil soaked and brittle, lots of areas on wire that were bare.

Found a good set of chrome bumpers, waiting on pumps and coil for start up, swap meet in Winfield, WV this past weekend was great. Not many flathead parts, but did pick up a radiator cap for 33 BB truck.
 
Got my water pumps back this evening and coil, will start installing them next week, and then re-assemble the top end, go for a start then. Tell me some information about the water pumps, old impellers as I remember had parts to them, spring etc., new re-built look like a one piece model A type impeller, what is the advantage?? On the water pump with temp sending unit, what is the small set screw used for? Also, are the pumps painted Ford green like the engine, these are charcoal color? Thanks for all the help, Bruce

Does brass fitting need special dope/Teflon tape?

Do you think the very bad corrosion on water neck will cause problem, no ring/ridge for hose to slip over, leak?
