Lucky? Yes. I disassembled 4 engines before I found a good block. Why take a chance.

Here's my 59A block with 8RT heads and a Merc crank in my '35 woodie. Runs real well after 7 years and 6,500 mile of mostly summer driving.

I just fired this one I built tonight. Sounds good. Have a few bugs to work out but all in all, it's pretty decent
