Help identify Mercury flathead engine (pictures joined)
-
Hi, i recently buy this flathead engine in France (Le Mans town).
the two v8 cylinder heads are engrave EAC mercury usa with 24 studs (8 lower studs) .
so it's for me a Mercury 1951 - 1953, ......but:
the flathead date code is not describe like in the www.vanpeltsales.com pages :
- near the right cylinder head with the number 3 , letters B & E ...no line up and a 8 in a circle square.
- near the left cylinder head, the complete number: 68001PSCAL and a little far the number 7.. ?... in a circle square.
At the rear of the engine, near the bellhousing: B1891.
The carburator is a ZENITH 32 NDXIR like on the french army flathead, perhaps a repair change; what's the original carburator.
this engine was on a vintage coca-cola business car ..destroyed since!!
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 for hotrod plan.
thanks in advance for your answer.
sincerelly.
Jean Phi
