Gerard,
So are you suggesting that he doesn't need to swap out the original Bugeye
radiator for the later Midget radiator?
Also, what about his mention of the drive shaft. Does this or does it not
need to be swapped to accommodate this conversion?
Thank you,
Howard Collins

Hi Bill,
Yes, most of it will bolt up. Not sure what you refer to as "rear end";
differential/3rd member = yes, rear axle housing =no. Radiator should work
but you need the matching shroud and overflow tank. I've hear that a downflow
in good condition actually cools better though.
