It also has pressure oiling to the mains, inserts, counter-balanced crank, possibly an iskendarian cam (?), lightened flywheel, V-8 clutch, Stromberg 97 carb, Burns intake and ceramic headers. Everything else (other than the engine) is completely stock Model A.

Sounds like WE owe guys like Cooper/Brierley/Winfield, et. al,. a debt of gratitude for their pioneering and passing on banger improvements for our touring engines, as well as race engine, eh

!
I just fired off and runin a B that is a combo of all those guys contributions. It runs like a cat does from a greyhound
Be careful that it doesn't twist something stock... off ! Do you know bore/stroke #s ?
