Default Re: Aussie 47 mercury

I had a C69A in my 46 business cpe which is now long gone. It was originally a c59A car.
The 69A is a good engine. It is a C59a style flat head but like you said most if not all came with 8BA type internals. You must remember in 1948 the 8BA style engine was being put in the new Bonus truck while the cars had to wait to 1949 to get the 8BA mill. I think the C69A had insert rid bearings like the 8BA as opposed to the earlier full floaters. Correct me if I'm wrong on anything please.
