Also I felt guilty about taking out the 221,the other month on a old car run out west another old car(39 Ford) tried to pass us on a long straight,the racer in me came out and I trod on the gas,he could not get past,later when I went to apologise He was so surprised to see the 221 still in.
Then there is the satisfaction of having the little engine in that the 33 came with.and all the spare parts I have for the 221 engines. I have spent hours rounding up distributors (from Horipito wreckers) ,generators,bearings and rods etc for them,and I have a good 34 block that I will put some time into working out how to do the babbit and line boring myself ,also a good 36 engine,
The new engine had .040 piston to head clearance and about 7.5 -1 compression on art heads,so it sure was higher than the 33 engine with flattop pistons,
A hotrod,now theres an idea,could also use up some spare model A parts.
