All I had to do is use adapters so the motormount adapter matched up to the old flathead mounts, drill the flywheel to accept the Ford pressure plate, adapt the bellhousing to the '39 Ford gearbox, and change the radiator. I did several of these swaps with various engines into '39-48 Fords and on one I had to drop the tie rod to clear the oil pan, but I don't recall which engine required that. Could have been the Chrysler.
