The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Will 59 A-B flywheel fit an 8BA ?

I’m removing a 59AB from a ‘46 Mercury to install a ‘53 Ford 8ba.
The 8ba has a rough looking flywheel that needs a starter ring gear.
Will the 59AB flywheel fit?
If not I need to order a ring gear pronto.
Thanks in advance.
Oh, also was a 46 Merc engine light blue or dark blue?
