Very little interchangeability between the 337 and other Ford flatheads. Carburetor parts and a few ignition parts and that's about it. They also used a solid tappet version in trucks but only in the very large F7/F8 classes. Damn good truck motor but a bit too heavy for a car unless it was built for it like the big 49-51 Lincoln Cosmos and baby Lincolns. They had a few more inches in the engine compartment than the Mercs to house the big thing. They also used different transmissions, clutches, and rear axles.
