'47 245 into a '40 110?

Posted by tsherry On 2021/2/4 22:47:16

As my '37 115c is nearing completion, I thought I'd take on another project I don't have time for.

I'm picking up what has been told to be a good running 245 with 3 speed out of a '47, for $500. Good oil pressure, good compression...or so I'm told. I plan on putting it in my '40 110 touring sedan. The needs-everything '40 has a worn out 245 with overdrive, which will stay. The last time the '40 ran is probably 25 years ago--smoked like mad; probably rings and stuck valves and Heaven knows what else. I'll probably open it up after I have it out just for fun.

Any particular issues with a swap like this?
