Re: Returning a 1932 Ford Coupe back to a Model B
If you are going to use a new radiator get your order in to Brassworks asap.It took 6 months to get mine for my Model B 5 window but well worth it,this was a year ago. Great fit and surprising ly the Model B exhaust I bought was from Waldrons and it fit great but also took several months.Model B wiring from Rhode Island I was lucky got it before they shut down,may be back now. I don't envy you for the task you are taking on it was hard enough on mine being a good original 5 window B. Engine in mine is from Schwalms and 39 trans gears in original '32 case.I think both trans are same. Easier pulling a shorter V8 then pulling and replacing a B engine as transmission has to be installed as a unit,gotta use a tilt to clear from crossmember for oil pan,not one of Fords better ideas. Model A guys tried to install engine separate from trans already installed like Model A before I got car,ended up removing oil pan to clear but then it after being compromised.They almost cut lip on front crossmember. If I were closer you could use mine as a guide,always a B engine.
