If it has the 29A con rods then it is a direct interchange for rotating assemblies with the 59 series. The 59 stuff will fit it though as long as you use all the right parts. The only real difference then would be that it has thicker cylinder walls and the earlier type valve angles.
Thanks. It has the raised intake deck and the rotating assy was swapped out of a 59 block. The valve angle shouldn't matter on the thicker block, should it?
