8BA crank to 59AB block

And all the early stuff will fit, if you want a hotrod look...front pulleys and pumps, ignition, etc. with minor adaptations. You must use the 59 flywheel, not the 8BA, and you can use either early floater rods or the 8BA's.
 
Depending on which year car you intend on installing the engine. With a little help you can use the early pulley. Also, depending on which distributer you use, 2 bolt/59A type or the 8BA type. You will need either early or late model timing/cam gears.

Be sure to use 59A rear main bearing in 59A block. The saddle width is different than 8BA but the center and front are the same. Be sure to inspect the rear thrust surface on the crank before having it ground. It's somewhat disappointing when found later in the build
