The middle eight engine as you call it would be the Eight. It does not have a water distribution tube inserted from the front, rather it uses a water jacket side cover plate to perform that function.

Are your shutters open? Have you inspected the water pump to make sure the impellor is still present and functioning? You might also want to try a gravity flow rate test on the radiator to see if it's anywhere near capable of handing the heat generated.
