I have a '32 Ford PU. I bought it with the original, but wreaked, Model B engine more than 40 years ago. The first engine I put in was a '51 Mercury. Ran that for 20 years with a '39 Ford tranny. The rear end (replaced 2 pinion gears) wouldn't hold up so I replaced it with a later ('38 ?) axle. I found a fresh 220 Mercedes diesel.

You will probably be able to do 90 mph because they can rev.
