It is definitely a 160B slant Town Sedan, not a 160A slant std. Fordor or 160C Deluxe Blindback. The 160A slant fordor did not have cowl lamps, and your cowl has the holes for them near the stainless trim band. (see picture below) The 160C did not have the extra 3rd side windows in the back.

You also definitely have the wrong radiator shell, it is a 1930, you need a '31. The only difference is the '31 has an extra painted inset panel at the top of the shell. Bolt on swap, you might find someone to trade shells.

NICE project you have there. Just add cash!

Here's the engine going in my 160B a couple years ago.
