Technical 324 Olds in a 32 Ford with a stock hood?

I am probably beating a dead horse but does anyone have any info, references, and or photos of a Olds Rocket engine in a 1932 Ford with a full hood?
What to do and not what to do.
Asking for a friend thank you.

Just looked April 58 HRM thank you.

 

Not sure if @nochop is planning to run a hood on his after paint? I know he had a hood on it before it ended up with the Olds and a paint job.

 

Here’s a measurement.
Roughly 28” tip of fan to back of head

 

This one is running a hood top
Not sure on hood length

Old thread, misc. Olds/deuce discussions, thought you'd like it.

@anthony myrick there is an engine.
Thank you for the measurement in "length" (no pun intended) it would be more the width or in our mindset "girth" because of the hood side clearance.

 

Here’s one with a side shot

 

Alternator moved check.

 

I plan on running a hood on mine but haven’t got it on yet . Soon and I can get it mocked up and post some pictures if you like. I’m using a Denso alternator mounted low on the p***enger side. Also have a spin on oil filter.

 

You may have issues with the road draft tube. Even with my recessed fire wall I couldn’t get the stock tube to fit

 

@nochop thank you man, by the way I like the un-chopped car very nice.

 

Loose the road draft tube and put a PCV on it.

 

Think they’ve got you covered but for the sake of broadening your photo research an early
Olds is very close dimensionally to an early Cadillac or Studebaker.

I’ve got a Stude under a stock hood in my model A and the only thing that absolutely wasn’t going to clear was the generator so the charging system will get moved down and tucked tight.

I’ve seen a few have tight clearance at the front exhaust primaries that required a little blister to clear the manifold/tube but I think if you wanted to run a smooth hood that moving the engine back even and inch would gain you quite a bit of room.

With these wider engines it just becomes a game of how far back are you ok shoving it to keep a smooth hood side.

- Stude/Caddy/ Olds size reference based on sitting my 394 next to the Stude and measuring them side to side/ front to back. And the stude and caddy just being an ***umtion
