are any in a 58 chevy truck? there are some 6bt swaps in the projects sections, the radiator to fit the core support is one of the problems.

the truck that has the #6 under the cowl in the link above doesnt have room for the stock fan. you are talking loftily about something you have never done, and wont chip in on finishing.

my advice was if you want to do it, do it! but be aware of the problems with the swap. drive up and help him, if you are so certain its easy.
