    So I’m stacking up parts at the moment. Picked up some fenders, waiting on running boards. Also picked up a bunch of flatty parts,

    Just surface rust on those rear fenders.

    Here’s the flatty lot I just picked up. The 59ab has what I measured as a 3 7/8 stroked crank and either a factory relieved block or it was done years ago.

    Old edelbrocks that have been resurfaced.

    Coupes coming along, slowly but surely!

    More on this 59 block. It has just 59 stamped on the bell housing. I read that the 59L and 59X and also 59Y? Had factory relief and maybe 42 had factory relief. But I can tell from the water jackets that it is a 46-48 block. If anyone has more info on this block it would be great!
