A guy on another message board has some questions about these engines, and I bet someone here on Squarebirds would be able to help him....
See below:
"I've read through a good bit of the posts on MEL's, but have yet to see How do I identify the block -- year, ci, etc. Can someone suggest where to look and what to look for to know what the engine is for the 58-60 MEL's?!
Also, what would be needed to use a Ford manual transmission with a MEL from 58-60 time period? I suppose the crank would have to be machined to accept pilot bearing; can that be done without pulling the crank? "
