Carguy, you might be better off starting a completely new post rather than jump in here on this one. A '49 engine would be an 8ba/8rt and many things would be different to get that engine into a '34. JMO

OK, sorry for the delay. I just logged on here and saw these requests. For anyone putting a '37 to '48 Ford Flathead (using center outlet heads) into a '35/'36 Ford passenger car or light comm. vehicle (except for pu's), try a pair of Gates #21253 (NAPA #NBH 7964) for the upper radiator hoses. They have a 2" ID at one end and 1-3/4" ID at the other end with all the correct angles. They fit perfectly and eliminate the need to use four short hoses and two tubes or a long flex hose which could put undue strain on the radiator inlet tubes. Also, I have heard that '49 to '53 p/n 8BA-8286-A will work for the lower hoses on this same engine swap. I have not personally tried this so I don't know how well this actually works.

I have a 49 type engine with a rear sump bell housing and a large plate bolted to the bottom of the pan. Supposedly this was from a military vehicle - could be since it has a tag showing that was rebuilt on some base somewhere. will this fit on my '34?

The 2" oil drain plug is a car oil pan. I don't know the difference between a car and truck oil pan. Do you have a fitting on the dip stick boss for the oil filter return line? Mike
