Re: 30's Engine interchange

Hi

Would any 320 c.i. engine through '39 interchange into an earlier chassis? I'd be interested to know how they differ if they do and why they wouldn't interchange if that's the case.

Interesting original question, fitting a '34 Super Eight 385 c.i. engine into a '31 833 chassis.....somewhat the same approach as the '30 '734; largest engine in the shorter chassis.
Sounds like a good project, your own '31 834! Some body adjustments required, not to mention a longer hood, and a set of 840 or 845 front fenders to make it look right.
