In late 1933 Ford sent the B engine building stuff along with model A touring car building machines, etc. to Russia. That’s why only 4 ‘34 coupes were built with B engines. They were built in ‘33. Also very few, if any,‘34 trucks had the B engine.
The model A engine stuff never went to Russia, they built A engines here until 1941.
So all the Russian cars were model A but with B engine.
Gas built a Jeep type vehicle for their army and it used the B engine with the gas tank in the cowl, similar to the model A. No fuel pump.
I did a major overhaul on a Gaz engine about 7 years ago.
It had Russian writing on the timing gear, a strange crankcase breather on the block behind the carb.
I had the lifters ground and the cam regrouped and I put in stainless valves.
I drove it about a year ago after I did some brake work on it.
It’s a 1930 deluxe roadster.
The engine is said to have come from an A parts place here in northern CA. By or in Benicia. Can’t remember the name. They say he bought 200 engines that came from a warehouse in Poland.
