8BA Rods in a 59/59A
My car came with a donor motor. It's locked up and soaking for dis-assembly. Holes in three pistons on the same side of the motor.
I know it's a 59 block (cast bell-housing with the raised 59). I can see the rods are marked 8BA. I'm pretty sure this is not stock. Anything to look out for? It also has adjustable lifters and an aluminum cam gear. I know, just typical rebuild upgrades. Nice thing is, the inside of the block, crank, rods and lifter valley look like no water or coolant got in. No signs of rust. I plan on using this block, if it check out OK, as a base for a mild street motor for my '36. Any suggestions from the learned masses? Thanks in advance. Never thought I would enjoy planning a whopping 175 hp (or less) build. Used to modern Fords (FEs and Clevelands). I'm now hooked on flatheads... |
