Help identify flathead engine
-
Hi, i recently buy this flathead engine in France (Le Mans town).
the two v8 cylinder heads are engrave EAC mercury usa.
so it's for me a Mercury 1951 - 1953, but:
the flathead date code is not clear : near the right cylinder head (see pictures) with the number 3 , letters B & E and a 8 in a circle square.
near the left cylinder head, the complete number: 68001PSCAL.
At the rear at the engine, near the bellhousing: B1891.
The carburator is a ZENITH 32 NDXIR like on the french flathead.
if somebody can help me to confirme the idenfification of this engine and what is exactly is the manufacturing date.
what clutch & transmission can i adapt on it.
thanks in advance for your answer.
sincerelly.
Jean Phi

Couldn't pull up your pix but EAC would be a 52 and 53 Mercury. 51 is a 1CM
