tim boyd Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Engine to radiator clearance is a key issue in building this Revell series of kits. For those that are considering building the '30A Highboy Coupe with the Nailhead V8 from the '29A Roadster kit, it is a straight drop-in but you must use the center crossmember from the '29 A kit Highboy frame, not the center from the '30A coupe (which is designed to place the blown SBC in the proper place). Should you decide to use the '30A grille shell and radiator for your '30A Coupe Highboy build (instead of the '32 Deuce grill shell as shown in the instructions), you'll also find that the extra set of radiator hoses on the Highboy parts tree is a perfect fit from the Nailhead engine to the radiator. (Yes, it was engineered that way in advance). The radiator that works on this application is the one not mentioned in the '30A assembly guide (there are three radiators in the kit, the one for this application is the one not shown or listed on the assembly manual).Hope this helps....and oh, by the way, really nice work Luis!
