This could be a good start for someone's engine build. I'd want to see it in person though, otherwise you bid at your own risk.

Nice grease what does the top side look like. -
There might be nothing wrong with a welded freeze crack, but I'd pass on it. How much has that crank been turned? What's the bore? A lot of things to take into consideration. I've seen a few complete A engines at the swap meet for $75.00 How do you know without looking at everything what you are getting besides a scrap piece of iron?Comment

I do not want to get into bashing people. So I,m going to say the model A engine is one of the hardiest to get right when rebuilding them. You could do 2 chev small blocks or Ford small block to 1 model A engine, that is if you do it right. Every one always says how simple they are. But they are not simple to get right....01-22-2018, 03:25 PM -

The engine I got has some serious pitting on the top of the block. I would like to know just how much surface I can remove to get rid of that pitting?
I am thinking most of you will say just find another block or engine, and I might do that depending on what my surfacer says it will cost me. We will see.02-27-2018, 07:48 PM -
If you need to sleeve a block, are the new sleeves modern steel? How do these wear and hold up compared to the stock cast iron bores?...12-11-2017, 03:09 PM -
1: Do I have to worry about the hairline crack on each side of the stud?
2: Do those holes mean that my crankshaft is balanced? I have 2 holes in the back and 1 upfront?

Just wondering about how much power do you think one should expect a stock A bottom end to hold up to with fair reliability? The are lots of ways to extract more beans from the A engine, but hat bottom end is pretty whimpy. Or a touring car, no racing involved, do you suppose the bottom end can take, say, 80 hp? 100?

I have a cracked block left side of engine leaking water . May try Blue Devil Block sealer . Any other suggestions other than a new block. I used it last year for a sand hole casting leak in the valve adjusting chamber worked out good so far over 2000 miles on that repair .08-27-2017, 12:29 PM
