Nose removal on a 50 ford

Hi..I'm getting ready to throw a sbc in the ford but when I looked for the bolts to take the nose off I don't see them.Maybe i'm not looking hard enough but the only bolts I see are the ones on the fenders. Also can I remove the nose in one whole piece? Thanks Gerry

 

theres two in the top of the fender,one in the bottom, two hidden in the cavity behind the wheels that go up, theres three that hold the inner fenders to the firewall support, the one under the radiator and there is a couple that go horizontally into the side of the fenders, from the inside of the car near the kick panels,21 in all ...if i remember correctly. dont forget to take the vent tubes off and all the wires that connect from the firewall and it will lift off in one piece. two guys can usually do it. have fun and good luck

 

Thanks.. I appreciate the fast relpy. Hopefully it will go smoothly...
