Anything from an early pre -49 engine bolts on but doesn´t work as belt will hit distributor post.
So 8RT crankpulley, 8RT waterpumps and a 8BA generator with a fanmount on it will get you up and running.
If you have a 10" clutch the car or truck bellhousing will do fine, if 11" only the castiron truck one works.

The "car" bellhousing would have to be from a 49 50 merc to work with the transmission or 48 to 52 truck but you have to use the matching starter plate to the bellhousing.
Truck oil pan will help clear the draglink also. And truck exhaust manifolds or headers
