The added length of the Mercury is forward of the cowel.
The motor and drive train is is in the same location as a Ford. The difference happens with the steering gear, about 4 inches more forward than a Ford, which creates a different interference for the dual side pipe if installing dual exaust.
Single, stock exhaust system with cross over pipe is the same for 42-48 Ford or Merc.

I have a Waldron dual side exhaust pipe for a Mercury if anyone is interested.
