Re: Reconditioned Model A engine block
I've been searching and advertising for a while looking for a motor to rebuild. I've given up.

Thanks very much for the offer, "Jack". As you say, freight from Ca to here isn't cheap. Something as heavy as an engine would cost literally thousands to fly over and hundreds by surface. Surface freight can take several months. I am still waiting for some axles I bought back in July. The latest estimate is sometime in Feb. It was no slower in the days of sailing ships. I have said here a number of times you guys don't know how good you have it. That might give you a clue. That engine sounds good but I don't think I can do anything about it. I'll just have to wait - something will turn up one day. Thanks again.

Re: Reconditioned Model A engine block
No worries.. good luck in your search. DHL will ship 150lbs for 678.00US in 5 to seven days.. figure 300US for the engine, you're looking at a 1000US plus or minus.. figure this engine doesn't need the machine shop, just cleaning parts and assembly, it would pencil out to your advantage...However, I'm with you though, finding one local is your best bet.

Re: Reconditioned Model A engine block
Arnold, let me know, like I said I will be cleaning out some later in the year,
some blocks may have New Burlington cranks, inserted rods and rebored with new thin ring pistons various bore sides. Lawrie |

On some competition engines, we would automatically heil coil some stud holes that were prone to pulling out. This was done as a preventative measure. Like a lot of things, when poorly done, the end result will be less than satisfactory. Also, some holes that have been stripped out are so buggered up that a Heli coil is not the proper solution. My experience and my opinion. Chris W. |

Re: Reconditioned Model A engine block
I vote for a step stud. You can drill and tap the block as big as you want. You have a
friend with a lathe then its a piece of cake |

Re: Reconditioned Model A engine block
If the hole is broken out off center you can even put an off center step stud in. I don't remember where I saw them available, maybe Fastenal? Or? I keep a catalog in the back of my mind, that's where I put all of the strange items I see, but sometimes I can't remember where I put the catalog!
