Re: new engine
When I wrecked my A , the first thing the insurance agent did was verify the number matched his records.

Re: new engine
In Canada there is only a number on the left side of the block . Nothing on the frame or on the cowel .

Re: new engine
Shipping could kill you but I would recommend Go Deil Garge outside Albany NY ...you could buy a motor outright ....

The engine number does fall into the correct time period, August 1930. Last edited by Y-Blockhead; 09-16-2018 at 02:52 PM. |

Re: new engine
I bought my restored Model A Town Sedan from a gentleman in upstate New York. During the restoration process, he made a tracing of the number on the frame, which he gave me when I bought the car, and it does also match the engine number. When I registered the car in California, I used AAA, and took along that tracing to show the agent whom registered my car, which definitely helped.

Re: new engine
Yep, I took pictures of the number and also tracings when I applied, and they used both for the records.

At last years national meet in Gettysburg I toured Schwalms's shop and I was very impressed with all the equipment and cleanliness as well as all their professionalism.

Re: new engine
What is the average price for a complete rebuild Model A engine?
I supply a good core engine (no cracks, etc.) 3K, more? Thanks Jim |

Re: new engine
Jim off hand I'd guess about $4,000. Lay aside 4500 to be sure. I think that price there abouts includes a balancing job also.

Re: new engine
Agree...$4,500 for a nicely rebuilt Model A Engine. Almost everyone uses adjustable valves these days. Ernie in Arizona.

We've got one for $3800, Complete, Never run, built by a recognized local builder. It's going to Hersey soon. Will start it up for you if you say when you want to see it. Just say the word!
