Sounds like your radiator inlet Ø isn't stock size (?) It should measure 1.75"

This change was done today, not sure why.... ?? I agree, it looks kind of weird (especially for us "old-school" who were taught to always start a new sentence at the very left of page.)

They should be there - from factory at least.

Each one has a different part number, so they are not the same. TM 9-2320-280-24P, Fig. 234 - 239

Bobbed alternator...??

Yes, but under normal operating conditions they usually don't crack. On the other hand it takes just one serious overheat (e.g. from a failed radiator hose detected too late...) to cause one or both heads to crack between the valves. And once the heads ran dry the kit in Q. won't help at all...

Yes, about 4.5" I took an old drawing I posted long ago and added that plate with the radiator in the right location. From the fender edge to center of rad stud holes I measured 3.35" (could be +/- 0.1) It is less than 3 inches, actually. I just posted that here, a few days ago....

If those dimensions check out OK then YES.....

Hey, glad if it helps! I kind of feel your pain because I did some modelling too, in my much younger years. It's always great when you have access to the real thing - or at least to someone who does....... :wink: Yes, gasser and MF fenders are very different, under the hood. I have many...

1) Before you start with that oil pan: Note that the deep sump continues full width, almost down to the bottom. 2) Front crossmember & motor mounts: I managed to take just a couple pics - before the hornets got too irritated... Then I found some loose parts in the junk pile, which made it...

Why "reinvent the wheel"...? Believe me, if done right, a restored door will open/close like the old fridges; seal fairly well all around; no binding or rattling of the window at any position and cranking it up and down takes just two fingers! Been there - done it, many times. And sure enough...

Front exhaust pipe section (between engine and muffler) is 2-3/4" OD and what follows passed the muffler measures 2-1/2" OD.

I'm not sure - did the fuelers ever come with a winch ?

Distance btw it (EE) and the next one (Z) is 6ft, exactly. The engine block is about 32in long x 13in wide and the oil pan measures 29" x 10" x 5" (rear half) x 9" (front half = deep sump). Its mounting flange is 1.25" wide. There is a 5"x2" hump on the drivers side, which can be seen in this...
