Re: Merc 1939 axle in a 32 frame need help with torque tube lenght

Torque tube length is 73-3/4" (approx) measurement......4" longer than the 39 Ford. Axle length is the same as 39 Ford.

Re: Non standard head 1938

81T heads are "most commonly" referred to as "truck" heads. 81T-6049 is the right hand head. 81T heads, for me and my interests, the correct heads for 1939-1941 Mercury's.

Re: 1937 21 Stud Oil pan front and rear seal and gasket clarification.

IF it helps, I use a socket to help press the rope seal to the cover, it also helps keep from cutting your fingers badly!!!

Re: 1937 21 Stud Oil pan front and rear seal and gasket clarification.

Cut them flush, the oil pan gasket,as you see, covers them. IF need be you can use just a little dab of RTV at that point. Another suggestion given to me was to soak your rope seals in oil for 24...
