v8 ford foundation
Hello v8ers,
I am donating a Model B engine to the V8 Ford Foundation. I have assembled the engine and about to have it delivered to Indiana to be displayed. As i reported earlier I did receive a fuel pump donation, but I have just been informed that I do not have the correct intake manifold, fan,and spark plugs. If you happen to have one or more of these items i would be grateful. Thanks, Walter Welton 617-913-1414

Re: v8 ford foundation
Just a quick back story, I belong to the Early Ford V8 Club of New England and many of the parts were donated by fellow club members. Thanks

Re: v8 ford foundation
Contact some of the people that rebuild the fuel pumps. They might have enough unusable parts that they could put one together for a display cheap (maybe Ken Isidor - [email protected]).

Re: v8 ford foundation
Well the engine has a few issues before I can send it to Indiana. I was informed that the intake manifold, the fan and the spark plugs are not correct. If anyone has these items please let me know so I can get it finished. I will purchase them if necessary. THANKS!!

Re: v8 ford foundation
Im beginning to learn that there is more to building a model b engine then I was aware.
I have realized that I should use this as a learning experience and will try to do what is necessary to build a correct engine. I have been informed that most of what i have assembled is 1932 and will proceed to acquire more 32 parts to complete the engine. Thanks for every ones help on this endeavor!! Walt
