If the body is good, you are on your way! Check the sills.
They rust there first. Many of the A's have engines other
than original in them. Anything from a B engine on. I am more
or a purest and would prefer the original engine. My 59 A
came with a 1600 engine, which is your engine. I am looking
for a 1500 engine to make mine stock. I think I have a lead on
one so I may have one for you. It will need rebuilt and its
attached to a gearbox. So in other words, they are out
there to be found. Let me know if I can be of any help.
Thanks,
Harry
