Lobo, Generally speaking, it is best to open a new thread for questions of a totally different nature. That said, I'm not a '35 guy, but I believe there were two antennae locations for '35 open cars: Under the running board, and behind the spare tire. Closed cars would have had the additional antenna location of chicken wire within the top fabric. Hopefully, someone with more knowledge of '35's will chime in.

Thank you for your response on the lifters I will bring this up with the mechanic that’s working on it. As an aside where is the radio antenna located on the 1935 for Phaeton?

Please note that in your two photos of your motor mount/water inlet casting that the one in the first photo is a '36 and that in the second photo is a '35.

Lobo, from the picture of your engine being built, I see that it has not been modified to accept an Allen wrench during installation of adjustable lifters. Forget I mentioned this if you intend to use original lifters, but most builds these days go modern adjustable, for which the Allen wrench hole makes the job much easier.

Hi John, I have found a welder in Phoenix that is currently repairing the outlets Secondly the 36 motor is being rebuilt from ground up. During tear down it was revealed the bearings were insert. Either way I knew crankshaft bearings and rods and pistons are being installed. Thanks so much for your response I have learned so much from this group

Lobo, I looked at your pictures of those 35 and 36 water inlet/motor mounts and agree that the inlets where the radiator hoses connect are severely eaten/rusted away and should be repaired or replaced. You can find good used sets of those inlet/mounts selling for ~ $60.00 to $70.00 per set. You may even be lucky enough to find an nos set. Also, based on another earlier comment on main bearings in a 35 vs 36 21 stud engine, there is no guarantee your 36 engine has the insert main bearings, since during 36 production, Ford used both poured babbitt main bearings and insert main bearing type blocks at the same time, or side by side. The only sure way to tell if you have an insert main bearing block would be to remove the oil pan and measure center to center distance of studs holding the main caps in place. Poured babbitt mains = 3" C-C, and insert mains (aka LB) = 3-1/4" C-C.

Tom if I use the water outlet/motor mounts off the 35 block in Bol to my 36 I should be OK. Any other issues that may be caused by the different radiators ?

Nope! The '35 and the '36 radiators are different in several ways. A '35 car requires a '35 radiator regardless of the engine. The same is true for a '36. A '36 requires a '36 radiator regardless of the engine Tom
