The 8BA doesn't have this cavity due to the difference in the way it's crankcase breaths. You can shorten the 59A tube to provide clearance over the tube, or install a PCV valve. Study the 8BA manifold at the breather and oil fill tube area and the differences are obvious.

...Also fuel pump, stand and push rod are different, and carb pad is level on the 59A, 3 degree angle on the 8BA.
