Thanks,got two 8BA'S and two 59AB'S cheap..Ive got time on this one,if I can't save the block no big deal.

Like flathead V8's, B engines are good if you get a good one. In my opinion A blocks are way better,Ford had a low casting rejection rate with the A block (96% casting rejection rate in '32 with the V8,it would have ran anyone else broke). Find a late 31 A block,they are the best,build with confidence, odds are you won't get hurt by a crack.
