Mystery motor?
I am the new owner of a survivor unrestored 1936 Ford 4 door touring sedan deluxe. The engine was replaced with a 49-53 Mercury Flathead v8 due to a cracked block on the orig motor. I can't seem to ID it down to the exact year. I know it has the 53 heads and it has the big clean-out at the bottom of the oil pan. It does not have any numbers on the Pass side intake manifold surface location. I am making the assumption it is a truck motor because of the clean-out in the oil-pan. Also has the fat belt and the color was orange before it was painted Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks...Dave
