I really need to do a single drawing with all my notes/procedures plus better pictures. What I provided above is all I had to start with(plus a hydramatic bell and a borrowed late model std shift bell housing helped) Look for a thread on it in the future. If I thought I could sell a few I would have probably digitized it by now so it could be done on cnc.
My 1st 59 block is in Ohio somewhere last I knew... numbers matching to a 59 Catalina I sold... Block wasnt supposed to go with it...I was in Atlanta and my wife loaded it on his trailer thinking I included it... I didnt know til after I got back. That was 2006... I think we still have the guys contact info if it hasnt changed... I had the 4 bolt main caps from it and sold them about 1 yr ago... it was originally a 420A tripower package.
A few years ago someone somewhere in NY state was selling a freshly built 59... All the work had been done before he found out he'd have to add an adapter and didnt want to bother going that route... Price was very good. Check all the Pontiac sites and Ebay and Craigslist. They are out there.
