You can put a 4" stroke 1949 and newer Merc crank pistons and rods in the 1948 and older 24 bolt blocks but you have to use the older timing gears and camshaft to keep the crab type distributor on the front of the block. The motor will end up looking exactly like the older motor but will be a 130 hp 255 ci motor.
On the prairies the 255 Merc engines are fairly common since farmers usually replaced the worn out motor in their trucks with a rebuilt Merc engine. I have several of them.
