    To use a '36 engine you will have make up a pipe from the bottom of the radiator to the inlet of the water pump, as the pipes are on opposite sides for these years. Otherwise everything else should fit fine.
  • thanks Geoff, he hasnt contacted me yet, BILL ALBRIGHT
  • 1938 should be the same. If you can take your time looking there are some out there. you should find a used engine reasonable and not an arm and a leg for it .

    '37 onwards had a much bigger exhaust manifold, stood out further from the block, could be a clearance issue in the '34 chassis. '34, '35, '36 all had the same mainifolds, but the '36 had a flat head and water pump mounted on the block.

  • I have parts at least. I pulled a 6 out of a 37 terraplane because of .003 out of round crank. I have the complete engine and trans, but sometime back it threw #1 rod through the block. It has been welded up but did seep a little oil. I also have the electric hand setup. I put a 4.3 chev V6 with a lockup TH350 since I didn't want to spend 3 or $4000 on the beat up block. I am looking for a way to put front disc brakes on this car. Know of a way? Val
