Swap it in. I pulled a 51 merc V8 out of a '46 1.5 ton. As I recall - use the waterpumps on the 50 and you'll find issues with the water pipes: the 50 used smaller diameter hoses on top than the 59 series. Oil filter may have a few differences - your gauge might be actual pressure while the 50 uses an electrical sender. That's about all. Everything else is a match.
