    Anyone running an early 303-324 Olds in a 40-41 Ford pickup? Curious about distributor to firewall clearance as well as fan to radiator clearance. If and what modifacations you may have encountered.
    Thanks in advance!!

    mj40's made a Nailhead Buick fit in his build. Olds shouldn't be any harder

  3. I have a build thread on my '41 project, click on the red thread link.
    firewall clearance is not bad. very similar as with a sbc.

  7. Not to hijack this thread, but wasn't someone repoping Hurst style Olds Motor mounts somewhat recently? I cant seem to find anything.
     
  8. There used to be a guy repoping them and selling them on eBay. That was a few years ago now. There was a thread recently (month or so back) about a guy planning on repoping a bunch of styles, but nothing yet that I've seen.
