I DID do a search and it came up with no match so need to pick some expert brains. Took the heads off of two 59A's and both had cylinders split from top to bottom even though the areas around the valve seats were fine. One has very few miles on it so I would like to switch everything over into a 49 8BA standard bore block that is good. Cam, crank assembly, front cover, distributor, center outlet heads, vented pan, intake, water pumps, clutch and flywheel, everything. Any real problems in this? Have a 50 Mercury bellhousing so it will fit up to the transmission in my 46 coupe. Thank you in advance; Evan
