Early parts in 8BA block
 

Is there a book with all the information needed to adapt heads and camshaft from a 1948 59A into a 1949 8BA block?

Can’t say I’ve seen a book that spells out that exact swap, most of the old-school stuff tends to be in build threads and vintage hot‑rod manuals. A lot of guys who do those mixes end up piecing info together from chev/ford early tech books or forum posts. You might have better luck asking on a dedicated classic engine forum where people have actually done that combo.
