Default Warmed 59A Inards Pics

Here are a few shots of the 59A now in my 35 3 Window - gobs of power - well behaved, runs cool with the Skips rebuilt truck pumps - ported and relieved, bored and merc stroked crank (with big caps), L100 cam etc. Has twin 48 Strombergs rebuilt by Max and Crab Electronic Ignition from Bubba.

The front and center main caps are "super duty" units purchased from Flathead Jack. As you may have noticed - the front Cap was custom fitted (ground) to clear the stock 2-piece truck oil pan. CNC machined from 4140 chrome alloy steel. Since induction is a ScOT supercharger - we wanted the extra security of a well supported bottom end.
