checked
I checked over the pic I have of the engine still in a paddock which I have reason to believe may have been the one removed from my carrier in 1947 to put into a farm truck. It has 21 studs, water pumps in the heads and single belt pulleys.
Provided I can still acquire it and bring it home I hope to rebuild this engine to put into the Scout, unless someone can come up with a compelling reason why it would be wrong to use that configuration. I have an option on a 21 stud engine with standard water pumps or an ex Aust LP2A carrier 24 stud engine assy but I want to try to get it historically correct a smuch as possible. Cheers Phill

Engine
Phillip. I have had a look through a couple of books, Engine model number SE-51E-6000. had the water pumps in the heads. the other Engine (79F,6000 CS) had the conventional engine mount type pumps. This is from my book dated feb 39, and does not refer to any universal carriers.
Strictly speaking, these are English Ford. The starter motor, ring gear etc are different from U.S. and Canadian V8s. as you would know those motors ran 18mm plugs, small dia journals, with Babbit bearings. I would run the merc, and maybe put the original stuff away for the future as i collected it. I believe your carrier ran a fan extention, and definately had a six blade fan, although I dont know if it is the same as the universals.
