I have a fresh 39-41 Merc block with the factory relief. Stock cam, but bored to 3-5/16 and a Merc 4" crank. Question is what flywheel can be used and can I use the 2 piece 59A style pan? Can I use the 8ba flywheel or will it need to be the one that is the same style but a little thicker. No...

Pulled my motor and trans from my 53 Mainline Found the throw out bearing housing is coming apart and the bearing, which feels good moves from side to side on the housing .030". Would that cause a vibration?
Next fall I plan to pull the motor and trans from my 53 for an overhaul. The car is pretty much a survivor. Mainly stock. I am thinking this would be a good time to switch to a stock OD trans. Will the OD trans bolt right in or will there be issues such as mounts or cross member etc.? What...
