I'm not sure the hoses are a problem..overheating, etc. ....but, if at all possible, you need to see & drive it for yourself. I paid a "professional appraiser" to check a car out for me.
BIG MISTAKE !! He missed things that cost me big time just to make the car safe to drive.
Looks like a nice engine bay though.

Agreed! I refuse to even make an offer on a car until I have driven it personally. Thanks for the advise.

It's the wrong motor for a '41, that motor is an 8ba type used from 48-53 in trucks and 49-53 in cars.

The owner shared that upfront, and I imagine the mis-match of the 8BA in a 41' forced the hoses to be fitted this way.

To answer your question, so long as the hoses do not rub on anything, there should not be any issues.

Thanks. I have poured over the 30 some pictures the owner sent to me, and while I do see some problems (it's not perfect) I'm going to go look at it. This will be the 6th car I've looked at/driven. All of the others had major problems the owner "forgot" to mention.
Thanks for the replies, I really do appreciate it.
I attached a few more pics.
