1939 Super 8 engine help please

Hello all:
As many of you know I've recently brought home the 39 Super 8 I bought that was in pieces. I have to confess that I have never been under the hood of a 39 Super 9 before but, after doing a lot of reading I think I am either misreading or missing something (actually more than some thing). It was late afternoon after an all day drive when I picked it up so I didn't do any kind of inventory at the time and would not have known what some of the parts were anyway.
I have discovered that there is no water pump not can I find the clutch assembly (as I remember them to be from 40 years ago anyway). There are also several body pieces missing.
So, here are a couple of questions to begin.

First, I understand this to be a front mount engine and the included picture of the engine justifies that I think. The picture of the frame between the front wheels shows what appears to be two side engine mounts. Help?

Second , I've included a picture of the rear of the engine. This plate is behind the flywheel but bears no resemblance to any clutch piece I remember. The teeth of the flywheel are about 3/4 to an inch inside this plate. Is all of this part of the flywheel?

Thanks for any help with this. Also, does any one have a clutch assembly/plate and water pump?

Gene
