Kev,

I believe the 5- and 9-main bearing blocks are different in length. More length is needed for the additional main bearings. Unencumbered by any formal research, and relying only on memory,I believe the Mayfairs were built on the shorter wheelbase chassis. I also believe the longer wheelbase chassis was used for the senior cars with the additional length in front of the firewall to accommodate the longer engine. I am often wrong, but never confused. Maybe some of our better informed members could shed some light on this.
