Jim, if you're not into rewriting history, don't suggest the '46 Mercury has more power than a '41 CMP engine. They are identical engines of 3 3/16" bore for 239ci. Ford rated the later engines higher due to better quality fuel available postwar (95hp vs 100hp), not due to any redesign or improvement.
