Re: Time for a change
You can keep the 8 inch. Use a 48-50 F-1 three speed floor shift. It's open drive and will look like a stock trans with the floor shift. You will need to use the pickup bell housing also, as I think the Merc bellhousing is different. If the block has been sitting for a long time I would pull the heads and check for cracks. Hopefully it was not removed from a car due to a cracked block. I had exactly the same setup in my 37 coupe.
