Engine ID - check my math
Picked up this pile of parts for super cheap. I think I see some T parts mixed in, so I don't know if these V8 parts ever went together or if this was a pile of leftovers.
Based on my research, this is: An approx 1941 block because of the "raised" intake area, A Mercury because of the round center coolant hole. I believe I can faintly see a "14-T" on the bell housing. I've read that a "014-T" is a 1940 85hp school bus, where the 141-T and 214-T are 90hp from 1941 and 1942. I've also read that pre-WWII engine block numbers don't really mean anything and the true numbers were on the trans, which I don't have. I have no valve train or connecting rods or distributor. Which rods or valve train would you put in a daily driver? I've read that you can swap rods and I don't really want split valve guides. When I'm shopping for parts, what "era" am I looking for? I'm thinking the 01A/11A/21A Ford or 09A/19A/29A Mercury with the distributor off the front of the block. Please, check my math. I'm new to V8s.
