Default How To I.D. a Merc Flathead

I know a guy claims to have a Mercury flathead engine for parts and I am wondering just what to look for to tell if it is really an 8BA Mercury engine or just a Ford. Its many miles away and likely to cost more than the engine is worth to ship it here. And while I'm at it, where do I look on my own 255 in this 53 to see if the engine number matches the one on the firewall plate?
