My new engines have arrived. Four A's and a B.

[Tom Wesenberg]

Those are slant 4's...............they must be for a Scout.

[Drive Shaft Dave]

Or maybe a Pontiac Tempest.

When I first got them into the stands, they were inverted 4's, so they must have come out of an aeroplane.

[Hoogah]

That's way too many for you to store, surely? I'm not far away and could "manage" one for you. Think of it as taking the pressure off. Really, it's no bother.

Well done Dave 1 can never have too many engines or cars

[waxhead]

What are your plans for those engines Dave??

[C26Pinelake]

Truly,what do they have to do with a Model A. Wayne

[2manycars]

Nice new engine stands as well!

[Big hammer]

20 clylinder road train, I can hear it now :-)

[RUNNERBUN]

Hi Dave, how about showing some Xmas spirit and share them with the less fortunate, "Me"..........I don't live real close but will be willing to pay the freight if you would be kind enough to donate one. (preferably the B Model)
Merry Xmas

Type 304 well side ute,
Special coupe,
Oval window business coupe,
Tudor,
Last one for dad's Phaeton.
I still have two more counter balanced cranks for two more engines yet to do, thinking of a speedster and haven't decided on the last.

If you run out of storage space, have a look at patent# US 1803761 A and open up the PDF...here's Henry's own tech, involving 2 simple widgets, to get 42 zillion bangers into a boxcar!

Sounds like a well thought out plan. Enjoy

[Patrick L.]

Something is wrong. You have one with different empty holes ! And, all the holes are covered up in another. [ smiley face]

5 'new' engines. Must be nice.

[burner31]

Have you ever thought about putting them together?
Can't find pictures using a Model A...but these will give you the idea.
I kinda favor the orange one, and the bike ain't to bad either.

[Patrick L.]

That first pic kinda reminds me of a snowmobile I made as a kid. 4 Briggs and Strattons.

[Bob Bidonde]

Those Slant 4s are for his Plymouth Valiant!

[dave in australia]

Bob, the Aussie Valiants came with a hemi 6 from 1970 onwards. The high HP version was this, available in the R/T Charger. Aussie Valiants wore the Chrysler name badge, including the Chargers, so it was 'Chrysler Valiant Charger R/T E49' if you wanted the fastest Aussie Chrysler.

Dave, if you have a photo of your business coupe, please post it! They are pretty hard to find in the US, and I would think even rarer in Oz.

I don't have a photo of the coupe. Yes they are very rare in Australia, as none were delivered originally. The only ones will be imports, with mine being imported in pieces over time. I have two sets of roof brackets and frames with windows that I purchased from a fellow fordbarn member, with the plans of eventually getting one put together. At the moment, the coupe is a chassis hanging from the roof of the shed, front end in pieces with four other front ends, rear end the same, and body panels scattered around the shed.

Your intended use age is very commendable. Keep up the great work! Wayne
