If my old mind is remembering correctly, that flathead is a more modern one than original. I had a '53 Ford with a flathead and its radiator outlets from the heads were at the front of the engine like this one. I think back in '39 the outlets came from the top center of the heads. The later design must have had a cooling problem. At least mine did - it had four cracks in the heads when I finally got rid of it. Blew water out the overflow on a regular basis. I used a ton of K&W Block Weld on it. It would seal the cracks for awhile but they always opened back up. I never heard of that problem with the earlier design.
