My Mercury engine still has a lot of the original green paint ECM heads 4” crank and it came with a 3 bolt manifold and a strange tower on the 3 speed that the shifter came forward up over the back of the engine.

Are you maybe talking about a trans with a shifter like this? DD

Not a betting man, but I'm hoping the zip tie says it's a 255. That truck that it's in is already a hotrod. Put a license plate on it (or not) and run it into town on a Saturday night. What could possibly go wrong?

And Nitrous, don't forget the Nitrous.

Those Lincoln side shift set ups were definitely different.

Ha! You wanna see "different"? You ALSO wanna see "side shift set-up"? Compare the bolt pattern on the SHIFTER cover on BOTH boxes....they are both the same Lincoln Zep CASE! Does everyone realize what the BOTTOM transmission was used in? DD

Given the clutch arm on the right side of the trans I'd guess English or Aussie but of course that is just a guess.

Export if made in Canada or the US to commonwealth countries that drove on the original side of the road.

Simply put, it's a RHD (Right Hand Drive) trans used 1940-'48, as in the second picture below! It's interesting to note that the INSPECTION Cover and the 'Serial #' pad are not lined-up straight on these. DD

This is a valve from the mercury block, I guess the C stands for Canadian.

 

[rotorwrench]

If Ford of Canada changed to rotator type valves than that is likely an example of the Canadian part. They used the C in the prefix on a lot of their parts.

hard to say what to do with it. it sits and does nothing

That's a '52 hood on the truck, the hood trim also appears to be '52. Can you post the serial number?
