Default Re: Swapping Engines

NoviceLou: I installed an 8BA in my 40 coupe in 1972 and it's still there. The biggest problem is fan interference with the rad hoses and finding the req'd 1949-53 Merc bellhousing, clutch, pressure plate and flywheel. Borg and Beck clutch pressure plates are getting hard to find. I have an extra 1950 Merc stamped steel bellhousing and matching starter plate ( that you will need) if you don't already have one.
Read all the related info. on this swap shown here. 1939 and 40 Ford pickup and car are the same.
