I would reconsider even trying to make those work... for c. 1939–1956, there tend to be a pretty abundant supply of parts and parts cars, including running engines. Obviously there are exceptions to the rule but I digress. As you have seen, many times engines cost only $300–$500. If you locate a parts dealer, you may even be able to trade what you bought 1:1 for what you need. Even if not, you'll probably save more in time and effort than a yet addional engine would cost.

Same type of thing I say when people say I should swap a small block Chevy engine into my 55. Why do that when I could get a correct engine for the same price...
