Dropped the dummy engine back in So I can mock fit all the hoses to work out positioning of all the ancillarys.
I am not sure about this arrangement of hoses?
The RH top hose on a Sprint (or 1850) is for the vent from the radiator.
I am thinking it will be better to fit a hose tail into the water transfer (at the back of the cylinder head) and use this to connect the heater input hose.
Also, I am thinking the expansion tank is a little low (relative to the engine). For filling/topping up you can undo the tank and hold it higher (if there is sufficient
give in the hoses), which is what I think you'll have to do because your strut brace limits the options for tank location.
With its takeoff from such a high relative position, will the flow of coolant to the heater be maintained at all times?
If I am talking rubbish please do tell me

I am finding this build fascinating and awe inspiring.
