I found a '52 8N for sale. It looks pretty good but the owner says there's water in the oil. My question is I have a spare engine for my Tudor that's running pretty good, so could I swap my model A engine for the tractor engine? I read they are the same but will mine have all the same mounting hole locations? Thanks.

The 8N engine is basically half of a V8.

Not with out a lot of work. They are not even close. How are you going to mount the front end. What are you going to use for a governor.Originally posted by Barber31 View Post
I think you should check out the tractor engine might just be a bad head gasket. I rebuilt a few back in my Dads repair garage. If not it might be a crack in the exhaust seat, easy fix. They also have replaceable sleeves.Comment

Ok I am here to ask all the experts what would be the best engine stand to buy that I could work on a Model A engine with? I am hoping to get one that will hold a Model A engine with the transmission attached. looking forward to your advise. Hugh12-13-2019, 08:55 PM -
What do you recommend for a break in procedure on a newly built babbited engine with a 6.0 head, larger intakes and B grind cam.
Keep it under 40 for the first 500 miles, or just go out and do highway driving?
How many miles to do the first and second oil changes.04-05-2018, 06:14 PM -

I haven’t been running engine pans. I got a set recently thinking I wanted to add them. After dry fitting them I’m wondering if I even want them on.
Advantages—
1. Keep engine cleaner.
2. Engine cooling, although I haven’t heard any conclusive evidence this is factual.
3. Electrical ground, but this is not an issue for me.
Do you run them? Why?12-11-2017, 11:11 PM -
I'm looking to take my coupe's engine up to Schwalm's for an overhaul. They have two base prices for a short block and long block overhaul. After that there are a number of extra add-on items that can more than double the price of the base overhaul. I looking to get a good solid engine that's going to last and can do a little local cruising. No high performance or long distance touring. I'm posting...02-08-2019, 10:47 AM -
A friend of a friend is looking to buy a model A roadster , and it comes with a spare motor. The seller states that it is a C motor and worth a few thousand dollars. I have heard of a B motor, but have never heard of a C motor. How do you tell the difference? Thanks05-30-2020, 06:19 PM -
Recently I noticed a squeaking sound when my car was idling. I took the belt off and started it up, no difference. It would go away when I revved it up a little bit. Got to be embarrassing at a stop light and the squeak was louder than the engine idling. I've done a ton of work on the engine recently also and the first thought was I hope the damn thing isn't getting ready to seize up. Everything...03-08-2018, 02:42 AM -
Reply to increase HPIs it dangerous to over stress an engine by using a high compression head? Especially on an original factory engine? How much extra horsepower could be obtained if any on an original engine?02-08-2020, 03:28 PM -
When I got my 28 Roadster, the engine was locked up and required a rebuild. I was unprepared to intelligently answer many of the questions my rebuilder asked me about what I wanted him to do. He started asking about shaving the fly wheel explaining the benefits, then on to a different, newer clutch that would be easier to push....I opted for most all of the changes he recommended. He was a well established...07-10-2020, 11:57 PM -
