59AB crank in 221-24 stud
I previously posted (see link below) about putting a 59AB crank and rods into an approx. '39 24 stud block (an "A" motor). It got lost in the machine shop and then I was busy with other things, but I'm now ready to put it together. My first hurdle is to get the crankshaft in. I'm not sure of the terminology, but the original crank had two oil slingers on it and the 59AB has only one. I have a rear seal conversion kit from Red Headers and a spare 59AB block I could cannibalize. The conversion kit has instructions, but since it is just a half of the circumference, I can't see how it works. As an alternative, it looks like I could remove the pot metal seal holder piece out of the 59ab main cap and use it to convert the cap in the A motor. I'm not sure about the block side, since I don't have the 59ab on an engine stand. Can I convert the block to a rope seal using the top half of the seal surface from the 59ab block? Are these the two pieces mentioned by Ken in the previous post, i.e. part nos. 19B-6336 and 91A-6335? Can I do this easier with the Red's Header Kit?
Thanks in advance, Larry Young Tulsa http://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showth...highlight=59ab |
