Most likely somewhere in the 46 to 48 time range. In general the "59" blocks were post WWII and used up until the 8ba block came out. Be sure to have the block pressured tested before sinking any money into it! All flatheads are prone to cracks, some of which can be repaired and some not. Sounds like a fun project and welcome to the Ford Barn.
