Can a 8BA be put in a 41?

[fortyonerag]

This is probably a foolish question but I have to ask.


I'm looking for a good core for rebuild to replace the smokey 11A in my 41. The car is driver quality only.


My preference would be to start with a 59 or 99 239 block. So far, I have found a few 8BA's. They are far more common down under.


I'll keep hunting but I'm curious - Can an 8BA core be used or are they completely different animals?
