#MHHAUTO FORD IDS 59 SERIES#
But, after having seen several 59AB and a 59L blocks cut into sections, and after extensive measuring, I’m convinced all of the 59 series blocks with a 3-3/16″ bore were cast with the same cylinder wall thickness. There is a general belief 59L blocks have thicker walls than other blocks. I seriously doubt they can be bored this big since the walls would have to be SUPER thick to tolerate boring an additional 5/16″! (From rod nut 1/30/03: These 59L blocks with a 3-1/16″ bore can only be bore safely to 3-3/16″ +0.60″.) I’ve never tried boring one of these as a 3-3/16″ block (to 3-3/8″). However, there are many around with the smaller 3-1/16″ bore. Many came with a factory relief and a 3-3/16″ bore. The raised 59 number and letter (if used) are located on the top of the bell housing.The 59L was thought to be a Canadian truck/bus block, but many were delivered in US cars that came directly from USA factories. which is why they’re also the most common blocks still around today. These were the most common blocks produced…. These will almost always bore to 3-3/8″ and still have adequate wall thickness left for street use. These are the softest castings of the 59 series blocks. The 59, 59A, and 59AB usually had no factory relief. There were eight different engine designations to my limited knowledge: 59, 59A, 59AB, 59L, 59X, 59Y, 59Z, and 59ERP. All came with replaceable hard valve seats. There aren’t any differences between Ford and Merc blocks during these years. The 59 series blocks came in ‘46-’48 Ford and Merc’s. The following boring limitations are what I use for engines intended for the street.

This decreased the number of blocks with excessive core shifts. The 59 series blocks had better quality casting control than earlier blocks. Let me begin this by stating the following is what I’ve learned and believe from my association with flatheads. MY BELIEFS REGARDING DIFFERENCES IN 59 SERIES BLOCKS. We’re archiving some of the threads, so that his work is not lost or forgotten and so they will continue to educate flathead enthusiasts for years to come. All threads from this source will be titled using the B.B.

This car is a reproduction of the Ken Block gymkhana drift car, ready for awesome action! The green wheels, though cool in design, are very close the the 17 inch Speedline wheels that Block uses for rally races. Moving from the Subaru WRC to the new Ford Fiesta, he gets a more powerful car, as well as a car that can be slightly modified in many ways to create an extremely well rounded rally car.
