You can also make an 8BA engine form the late 40s, early 50s work. You will, however, have to either cut the floor of the carrier (ouch) or cut the bottom out of the oil pan and shorten it. I went the latter route with great results. The 8BA has great oil pressure, gives the extra horsepower, and has the distributor up top which is great for repairs. I put one in my carrier as a temporary measure during it's restoration, but have been in no rush to install the original.
