[tcb] Re: What size engine for the '59?

James ,I run a 1641 in my single cab,dual kadrons,110 engle cam .I don't 
believe in high compression street engines , and no reduction gears , 3600 is 
about what I run all day long.70,75,even 80mph is not a problem,but not 
recommended.It,s duel port. Sammie says stock lol, Sammie I had to ans were for 
you.
