Perhaps I assume too much and am surprised by your comments, there really is nothing about the engine and driveline that wouldn't be readily apparent and obvious to anyone in the auto trade, then and now - it's a very basic and simple layout differing only in very minor details from most all other makes of cars; in fact it differs very little from a 1954 Packard in concept and execution. The intake manifold is the one attached to the carburetor and air filter, the exhaust manifold is the one attached to the exhaust system. Water pump is up front, driven by twin fan belts. Perhaps the lest common feature on the '34 Eight is the oil cooler attached to the front end water jacket plate, just a simple heat exchanger, and a feature Packard continued on the senior cars thru 1939.

I've lived with a very original '34 Eight for 50+ years and would be glad to answer any specific questions.
