    Once upon a time I stuffed a mid fifties Olds into a '35 Ford cpe.With an adaptor I bolted the Olds to the Ford trans, copied the Hurst front mounts & cobbled up an exhaust system. Torched the frame & moved the steering outboard about 1". The sore spot was the radiator, after throwing the fan away the radiator still would not come back to meet the hood. Ran with about a 1"to 2" gap between the top of the hood & the radiator shell. Olds motors run very cool, never overheated.
