We used to turn the manifolds over to adapt a downdraft carb of some sort??
Wonder if someone molds a full size Model A engine from FOAM or PLASTIC?? I'd buy one, detail it, slice it in half lengthwise, and mount the halves on the wall!! Bill W.

There are machinists who build things at home who could make one that scale and it would run. Does that one run? It does huh?

You can do that if you had foam and a knife and maybe sandpaper/rasp and melted it a little it on the outside it should look like casting with a coat of paint.
