First give away is the distributor and then the thermostat necks. Makes it a 49 to 53 motor. 49 to 52 truck motor were basically a bolt in with the water pumps oil pan and exhaust manifolds
If you started with a 49 to 53 ford car motor you would have to swap the pieces i mentioned above. 53 truck motor had different wanter pumps and bellhousing which also have to be changed.
