I agree Seth for the most part. I like the looks of the early engine better. I hate the more difficult serviceability though. On my '41 putting a quart of oil in can be quite a stretching exercise.
I think maybe Motor City has it exactly right. 8BA out back and 59A on the front. The middle of the engine can be used in either version.
