Did the 59 use the flat top?

Very cool Thank you.Do you have a part number for the pistons.I just heard back from Wally at Badger and he says they don't have a mold that he is aware of but he will check,and if I had anymore additional info that may help.

So the standard 460 timing set will work with a stock rebuild then.And the lifters are from the 3208 CAT?

Say I would be interested in the rebuild parts for $700.Badgers are decent pistons and I have used them for years.

I have personally never been inside a MEL before but am going to have to take one on here very soon. I was wondering about the oil drain tubes.I heard that there are tubes that run thru the water jacket to the oil pan?? If this is so and they corrode how do you get them out,who makes a replacement ,...
