The basics. 4x2 boxed frame. Z'd front with a basic stack. About a 3" channelled 35 Ford Cab. The Cab is as far forward as I can take it now so going back is easy for space. Center of crank is just about center of the 2" drop styled Model A x member. Sounds like a 3* backwards rake is typical. Am I skipping or missing anything before I start motor mounts?
I'm reading about but can't find great info on an earlier short snout water pump for more clearance. Have thought about an electric pusher fan inside the shell. Not sure if that's a bad idea or not. I imagine it would move more air than the stock 4 blade I have sitting here.
Pusher fan is a bad idea. The 35 had the radiator mounted down and In front of the front crossmember with a spring in front axle. The whole thing works together, wheeled base, grill to wheel relation so I'd get a few more mock up parts just to be sure
