51 Merc v/8 into 40 ford

[Charlie ny]

Just my 2 cents......Don't run it anymore without a load....that said we're talking a
flathead motor...small bore long stroke pretty stiff ring pressure, probably no harm
has been done. On the other hand big bore short stroke and low tension rings......
harm could easily be done.....I'm talking those out dated ohv motors.
I certainly respect other points of view.......this view is mine.
Gracias,
