You need to use the 1949-51 Merc flywheel, pressure plate and full bell housing with the matching starter plate. You can use the stock 40 throwout bearing. I have an 8BA/8CM in my 40 with the stock 40 transmission. You also need the 49-51 Merc rear sump oil pan or an early Ford pick up rear sump oil pan.
