Yes, I would agree that this is a 49-53 Merc flywheel. I know because I just pulled one off of my 49 Merc. (Below in the picture)
I have a question though, can I use the early Ford flywheel on my Merc motor? Basically opposite of what the original question is. My ring gear was shot on mine so I obtained a Ford flywheel, however I noticed a different thickness in the flex plate itself. Does that matter?
