hello from texas, im a youngster and starting my first project. been on the forum for a while and gotten alot of good info but need some help. i just got my first flathead and need some help identifying it. its got 24 studs for the heads, has 59A-B on the head, and C883 with the number 59 below it on the bell housing. any and all info on this engine or flatheads in general would be much appreciated. also any ideas as far as transmissions options would be helpful. thanks Marc
