The rods wont fit into the ealy cyl Bores (31/16), You can bore the Fealy ford block 1/8" for late pistoms. The 39-41 99a (Merc) and 99T (truck) are already bored to 3 3/16. You can also install the 49-53 Ford Merc crank in the 37-8 block by turning down the main jeornals and installing a special rear seal.
