Re: Ron Kelley Engine
Actually, just to double check, i went and got the title. It reads "Year: 1930 Make: Ford Model: Model A Town Sedan. It's still insured as a Model A... and it could still be judged at a Model A meet...
Pretty sure it's still a model a

Re: Ron Kelley Engine
I have had a R-K built engine powering my late '31 Dlx Coupe for about a year and a half now. In fairness, it does also have a Stomberg 97 carb. and Exhaust headers as well as F-S Electronic Ignition - All installed by Ron Kelley, during his building of the engine.
BUT - the end product makes me FEEL like I am 21 once again ! Driving with this R-K engine really 'gets me pumped'. It is a really exciting experience - one that give me a great sense of joy. As Bent has suggested, R-K does not have exclusive domain on this kind of engine - but Ron Kelley is sure one of those who knows how to build a great 'touring' engine - one that can give you confidence in today's traffic - AND make the driving a FUN and Trilling experience ! - Doug Vieyra - Eureka, Calif |

Re: Ron Kelley Engine
As good as a job that he did on your modified motor, I'm absolutely sure the same care and craftsmanship goes into any engine in any configuration that he does.

Re: Ron Kelley Engine
The debate of stock vs modified engine (in any way) will rage on after we are all dead.
There are those out there, tho, who do not realize the amount of performance equipment that was available for an A back in the day. There are several books that document this. So, even in 1928 drivers were adding performance goodies

Re: Ron Kelley Engine
This is true. My brother currently has an engine being built by Ron to stock specs to go in the dlx phaeton.

Re: Ron Kelley Engine
I bought a car several years ago that had a RK engine. It was very smooth and very powerful. I should have kept that motor.
