I want to drop my 53 merc engine into my 48 ford and keep stock running gear.
does anyone know what flywheel I have to use in order to hook up to stock clutch, pressure plate, etc. I have the bell housing adapter to connect the transmission bell. hope someone has done this before and help me.
Thanks
