Oh man!! That's good news , I'm sure that '37 will be much happier with a new FH heart transplant! Put that SBC back in a Chuby. I'm not that familiar with the Merc engines, but I would see if it has a four inch stroke crank, bore it a little over, and maybe install hardened valve seats. Keep us posted on the conversion process with some pics, etc. Good luck! JM
