Location: Peoples Republic of Oregon | ...apparently you have been missed....Is this a truck head engine or a pass car head engine? With a Thermo-quad I'll guess a pass car type.
Does the 59 have a similar crossmember design to a late B-body? If so, then the B-body pan may work. If not, figure out what the interference might be and find a pan that can be modified.
The exhaust manifolds tuck close to the block so they might clear the torsion bars...you'll quickly find out when you drop it in the hole.
I'll suggest that the 78 intake is a better design and the TQ is a great carb if properly tuned. |
