Pete Too many straight 8 Buick's is never enough ☺️

Manuals - parts books a few year after your car (~engine) tend to have running changes incorporated. As above the first edition (1941) is written ~printed before production Download the 1942 Buick shop manual for free. All of it section by section. Or click the pdf link to pay. http://www.oldcarmanualproject.com/manuals/Buick/1942/Shop Manual/ It is very comprehensive and has information that can be used with all straight 8’s. It has more information than was included in older “Shop Manuals” before 1942 From 1939 Buick sloped the engine. so the intake manifold has a step. What most people do when putting dual carb on 1938 and before, is machine a small wedge (fitted under carbs) to take into account of the 1939 & latter slope. Carb's then sit *horizontal* . Image is a 1938 and a 1939

No. Due to the torque tube. Just pull it all back to access the clutch. A lot of work lifting the motor out, with the transmission in place. Are you familiar with torque tubes?

1928 1952 Master parts book On the 3rd image the part with the spring goes under the cylinder.

Intake Group 3.265 Part 1330905 1946-47-48-49 S40 S50. But manifolds get swapped around and fit many straight 8's Exhaust Group 3.601 part 1314135 1939 S40, 1941-42-42 S40 & S50, 1946-47-48-49-50-51-52 S40 & S50 Generator # Delco 1102662 is not in my 1928-1952 Master parts book. Group 2.275 Generator less pulley part 1102736 1940 to 1948, 1949 S40. From 1948 Oldsmobile master parts book. group 2.275 part 1102672 1940 thru 1948. May be more GM part numbers for generators. The side engine mounts indicate 1948 and later Water pump is 1939-1949. 1950 and later a different design. Block casting number may show something. But have not seen a comprehensive list of casting number vs serial number [I am ~9000 miles from DFW, Tx, USA)

But will be a guide To me the marks from the tires are more to do with suspension. Your wheel - tire size today may be different to originals in 1936

You seem to have 2 wants new engine automatic (for wife) A lot of car for a 4 cylinder. But has been done.. https://forums.aaca.org/topic/374565-1940-buick-ecoboost/ The torque tube ~ differential will be a big issue and big $$$. I would keep looking for another 1931 engine. Check if later straight 8's fit? Maybe a 1948 -1952 straight 8 with dynaflow that used a torque tube. But not easy or cheap. A lot of engineering. Edit Want another 8-57 https://forums.aaca.org/topic/413157-1932-buick-57-series-sedan/

Rust on roof can be an indication that is had a *plastic* non breathable cover on it. Looks like the heater sprung a leak at some time---> new carpet May just be the sun, but to me the right front fender a different shade of blue. From the engine photo the bolts/rust marks for fenders are not the same left vs right. Would take $$$ to bring it up to reasonable, but not show, standard.

More likely to be the mechanical fuel pump. NAPA, O'Reilly or equal likely to have. Will be worth getting a manual on the engine. Look for any 1950's Dodge-Plymouth-DeSoto 6 cylinder car-pickup. May not 100% but a good guide to your engine. They did not change much 1930's to 1960's Australian site for information only https://www.autosurplus.com.au/mechanical-fuel-pump-for-dodge-3.6-3.8-3.9-6-cylin

It may have a MOPAR fluid drive, which is not exactly the same as torque converter. With the tug made in 1961 it could have been carried across from a decade before. Would be a useful in a tug which had a life of moving very slowly and gently. Those engines were also used in many forklifts years after they stopped being put into cars-pickups. Basically industrial use. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_Drive https://www.allpar.com/threads/the-chrysler-plymouth-dodge-desoto-fluid-drive.229898/?post_id=1085223996&nested_view=1&sortby=oldest#post-1085223996 https://forums.aaca.org/topic/181919-chrysler-guys-explain-fluid-drive-to-me/ https://forums.aaca.org/topic/225149-questions-about-1950-dodge-meadowbrook-w-fluid-drive/ https://56packardman.blog/2015/01/10/chryslers-fluid-drive/

To me this thread on a 1961 airport tug with a 1952 Dodge engine has had enough comments on oil specification. During it 10~15-20 what ever years at the airport Beechcraft FBO doubt it had straight 30 weight oil. It may have had aircraft engine oil. These old Mopar 6 cylinder engines are very tough. It will have a gentle life from now on

What part moves _ loose_worn out? Part L Y

On ebay from time to time. And NW transmission parts for synchro's. Transmissions 1940 to 1950 have many common parts. The synchro~drum may be gone. On pg 65-A items a, b, c & e wear out. Also check the engine & torque tube rubber mounts. (rough clutch & into 3rd) Link --> https://forums.aaca.org/topic/254772-39-buick-clutch-removal/ Use a clutch pack for a 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee 6 Cyl.

Maybe Diamond T based. Some but not 100% commonalty. Looks to be a heavy chassis 10-20 T? More details of the engine would help. https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo/diamond-t-truck.html?sortBy=relevant
