59 ab into 35 coupe
 

Hello.
First post.
Searched many past posts but did not see the answer.
Putting a 59 ab motor out of a 49 ford coupe into my 35 5 window coupe.
Will that oil pan work?
All stock suspension in the 35.
I have the mercy water pumps already from speedway.
Going to order the new clutch kit also as I am using the 35 transmission for now.
Thanks for the help in advance.

Are you sure it’s a 59A and not an 8BA ? 49 Fords had 8BA engines so if you do have an 8BA you’ll need a truck pan or even better a Mercury pan. The 59A should already have a rear sump pan.

What water pumps did you order from Speedway ?

You may want to go to this link and identify your motor before you think about the swap. http://www.vanpeltsales.com/FH_web/f...ifications.htm
Lots of good info here.

The Mercury units.
Also have the bellhousing adapter.

Do you know for a fact that you need the bell adapter? 59A needs no adapter. What distributor do you have? Pics are worth a thousand words.
