Ford 351 Closed Cooling Help

[lturley]

I have recently obtained a project boat that was made in 1981 and has a Ford 351W engine and a closed cooling system that has an external expansion tank. I need pictures or diagrams for how the system is mounted and cant seem to find anything like it online. I found a bunch of aluminum brackets that may go with it but i cannot figure out how the brackets i found could possible fit the tanks. It may be a side mount system. The boat may be a Duckworth Red Dot but i cant be sure, no data plate.

Thank you in advance for any help.

You may want to try a Facebook group called Midwest Jet and V-Drives. It's a pretty active group and they may be able to offer you quicker assistance.

Thank you, i will check that group out.

I have attached pics of the brackets although i cant see any way they hold the cooling system yet and cannot identify anywhere they mounted on the boat. I can tell from the shadows on the parts that the brackets assemble like you see in the second picture but then i havent been able to figure out how the whole thing goes together. Thanks again for any help.
