Thanks Fleetwin, you are thinking about what I need to sort out.
To me the 1958 is good looking and I have the hood but the internals of my 1958 powerhead are a rusty mess. I am now opening the 1959 powerhead hoping that the crankshaft/rods/ and piston assembly is ok. If possible I would use the block of the 1959 and just mount it on the 1958 exhaust housing. That may not work as the 1958 cover is supported by vibration mounts. I think one of them is on on the 1958 head but not on the 1959 head. I need to check that out.
If the 1959 crankshaft/rods/and piston assembly is ok I maybe can install them in the 1958 block provided the cylinders are useable. Probably I should lightly hone the cylinders and install new rings but I need to look this all over first..
