JSeery I think your answer is what should have been done many years ago, likely the 60's, when the 37 or newer engine was put in.
The previous owner used metal spacers with a long bolt thru everything.
This is going to be just the tip of the iceberg as I got the engine freed up today and find the #3 rod is not attached to the crank. Now to pull the engine. The engine has the crab style distributor on it. A friend has a good 49 flathead with upright dist. Will the 49 engine fit and work with the BB's trans? Thanks again this is going to be a long project.
