Answer to the first question is not really.

SOME late flatheads have a date code stamped on top of the block by the intake manifold; but that's about it. Most of the numbers you find on these blocks are pretty meaningless now.

And yes, a Merc crank is desirable... if that's what it has.

Only way to know is tear into it...
