The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Difference between pre 1949 flywheel and 49-51 flywheel

There is a difference in the depth of the crankshaft flange witch places the late flywheel closer to the back of the early block (oil pump Cover) it also has a different location for the starter bear. All this makes the flywheels not interchangeable. I might have this backwards, But???
