The 59a design is about an inch ana half shorter than the 8ba's, due to the crab dizzy. you can dress up the 8ba with 59a heads and dizzy to get that length. You will have to make a custom driveshaft and torque tube, no ford parts are a bolt on for that. The early style fan on the generator is the shortest/easiest I believe.
