Re: Stock "59 Series" Relieved Blocks?
I opened up an early factory relieved block with a raised intake,no bulges in the pan rail and passes the pencil test. Had Edelbrock heads, Sharp dual intake and an 8BA timing cover. Pistons are marked STD and it’s 3.187. The crank looks 3 3/4 but the cylinders are rusted and I can’t turn it over. It’s not stuck but can’t turn a full rev. Not marked 59.Going to pull it all down this winter........Mark

Re: Stock "59 Series" Relieved Blocks?
The marking on the blocks are interesting...a lot of the blocks marked with a Y has it sitting upside down...have to wonder if it was done with purpose or not.

jrvariel48, That engine you have pictured- have you run it? It appears to have some pistons fitted backwards.
