I have a 1937 Ford toploader transmission (no synchro) and have an opportunity to pick up a 1939 Mercury toploader tranmission (supposedly with synchro).

Are these transmissions the same (to facilitate a swap) other than the internal synchro gears in the later model Merc?

Were all 1939 Merc transmissions equipped with the synchro or were some early ones the same (no synchro) as the older (pre 1939) Ford transmissions?

Any help/advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
