Re: 1959 engine block
If there isn’t a casting date on the right side bell housing flange (passenger side) and the only thing resembling a casting date is on the side of the block in the frost plug area your block could be a Canadian made engine from McKinnon Industries in St. Catharines Ontario.
The above may not apply depending on where the M59 is located. Your post is not clear to me when you say “above drivers side rear freeze out plug” do you mean by rear that the M59 is cast in the rear of the engine. The area covered by the clutch assembly and bell housing? Or do you mean the rear of the drivers side of the engine in the frost plug area?
