Since I started this thread, I researched the death out of the 39-41 Merc and have switched blocks to a C69A 46 Ford. It will be opened up to 3 5/16 with a 4" Merc crank. Pistons will be Ross 3 ring and Manley stainless valves. Cam will be the L-100 which I have read lots of good reviews about. Rotating assembly will be balanced as well. A long way off my original intent which I have digressed from. I appreciate the help to date and still looking for thoughts on a manifold for the change in engine.
