Congratulations! Be sure to check and see if the crank has a 4 in stroke like 49 Mercs came with. Besides doing what has already been mentioned above, take lots of photos as you disassemble it. Be sure to mark all the bearing caps and don't interchange them. Also, save all engine parts and don't throw anything away. Hope you were able to get the Merc flywheel,clutch and pressure plate too. You didn't say what you plans are but, be sure to ask plenty of questions on the fordbarn BEFORE you jump in with both feet.
