53 merc monterey h/t
my buddy is putting a late flathead v8 in his 53 monterey h/top. he is using a 53 merc 3sp tranny w/od. can anyone tell us what kind of tranny adaptor he needs. i gave him a hogshead that has the right bolt pattern for the tranny but not sure of the setup. any pics would be fantastic but any help will be appreciated.
thanks, george |

There isn't any adapter just the correct flywheel housing. If it originally had an automatic then there are a lot of other components that will have to be acquired.

Re: 53 merc monterey h/t
The 53 Merc should have had a flathead V8 when new. The late 51 through 53 all had the same basic manual transmission with 52 & 53 using the same cast iron bell housing, similar to late 51 but with different clutch release, and the rear mounts for these were all basically the same, even if the auto trans was installed. Mercs used the Borg & Beck clutch if they were standard shift types.
What type of motor was in the car? |
