I can't seem to figure out what the part that goes here is officially called. What size bolts do I need? Flathead fans, What other parts should I add to this mock up engine for display. Any cool ideas? Please post examples of your display engines! Nick Sent from my Pixel 3a XL using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
You need a 35 ford to finish that mockup. Now those two big holes at the bottom front of that engine needs two water pumps.
Ok. Good. So what size bolts do I need for the water necks? Thank you! Sent from my Pixel 3a XL using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Shouldn’t be hard to find out? You’ve never had to find a-bolt in the coffee can before. Find just one bolt and then go to the hardware store and say I need a few of these. Sent from my iPhone using H.A.M.B.
If it,s only for display and you don,t have the original water necks/engine mount just use an old exhaust flange .
I have the original water necks. I was wondering if somebody had access to a repair manual to tell me exactly what I need. I'm a young guy...aka...not much stuff in my coffee can to try. Thank you! Sent from my Pixel 3a XL using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Here is tip that may come in handy. You will never find fine threads bolts stock in anything cast. The bolts are 3/8 NC stock.
Thank you! I'll try that. Only question would be how long? Sent from my Pixel 3a XL using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Anybody got one of these to help me? I'm heading to the bolt store today with the previous info. Nick Sent from my Pixel 3a XL using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Good idea. Only I have the water necks to install. Thanks, Nick Sent from my Pixel 3a XL using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
As stated before, the lower radiator hoses go there and attaches to a water hose neck as well as the front motor mount. You should be able to put your finger to the back side of the hole and use a piece of wire or pencil to measure the depth of the threaded hole and add this measurement to the flange thickness including the gasket. Use some anti seize on the threads.
2 different size bolts are used for each motor mount /water inlet bracket.Here is a pair on EBAY.Go on Fordbarn.com and place a wanted ad also. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-NO...:EEIAAOSwXzRdeWir:sc:USPSPriority!90807!US!-1

Thanks! It was a fun but very expensive"mock up" assembly. Sent from my Pixel 3a XL using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Grab a tape measure. measure the thickness of the flange on the water neck. Add 1/8" for a gasket and about another 3/4" for good measure its a mockup/display motor so exact grip length is not important.
