I have stock 1940 Fordor which I have owned since 1968. Haven't driven in 30+ yrs.

want to install hopped up 1951 Merc flathead in it and mate to the column shift 1940 3 speed.
what flywheel and pressure plate do I use? will the ones off the 1940 flathead work? Waht bellhousing and starter plate fits this application?
Thanks for your help.
