A project that I aim to !

Hi everybody !
A project that I aim to : Ford-model A 1930

 

[the engineer]

i have just what you need making manifolds at present ignition to go yet

 

[minh-thanh]

Hi the engineer !
Wow ... It's a really nice engine block
just curious ... did you cast that engine block?
For my project I will make a complete car, just hope I can do it

 

[the engineer]

hi there
no i purchased the castings with no drawings and none availiable i sat down with the original spec sheet for the full size engine and worked to fit with what i had

i made one crank and found the stroke just a little too long so started again this time success
bore 17mm stroke 16mm
if you start and make a mistake dont give up there is most always a way around it may take longer but just carry on

Hi !
Are you still doing this engine?
If so, if possible, please post some pictures.
And Thank you for the image of the engine block !

 

[the engineer]

hello and thanks
yes i am still working on the little ford at the moment i am making the manifolds getting closer to a trial run i will find some more photos of the internals

That's for sure , Thanks !

i will find some more photos of the internals

That is a wonderful thing ! Thanks for help.

 

[the engineer]

these are all i have at the moment but if you want i can post the specs that i roughly adhered to when making the internals i would have to double check some of the dimentions as some didnt scale exactly

Thanks for posting a simple motivating message... just when I was considering scrapping a boiler that leaks...

Hi Engineer!
Congratulations, this is really a wonderful project.
For a long time I was thinking to build a model of For engine like that one but I do not have any idea where to get prints nor castings.
Where did you get the castings?
Are you going to make the drawings available?

Thanks,
Edi

Hi Minh Thanh!
Are you going to build a scaled model of the complete car, including engine and transmission?

TKS,
Edi

Hi The engineer !

If possible, I only need the size of the engine block, which will help me a lot in my design

Hi E.picler !

Yes, I really like the styling of the car
This project will be a real challenge for me !
I downloaded some pictures of the car on the internet

Like The engineer said :

I will try to finish it !!

Mike Rehmus says the next issues of Model Engine Builder Magazine (#40 and following) will focus on the Model A Ford engine. This is mentioned in the BAEM Club newsletter, CrankCalls. Awhile back, I saw the start of this motor in casting pattern form at one of the BAEM meetings. I believe it was Dwight Giles who was talking about it at that time.

Hi Everybody !
Just a little

Hi All !
After looking at the informations of engine ... on internet, and with some helpful information from
stevehuckss396 .
stevehuckss396 !
Thank you very much !!
Draw, edit, and draw and edit ..., with lots of draw and edit and results :

Very nice Minh!

Those are some nice connecting rods. Did you make them out of 932 bearing bronze?
Also, it looks like you are working on an other engine too, a two cylinder. What is it?
Excellent work! nice original looking crankshaft. My father had a 32.
I see you have a hard drive motor , are you thinking of using it on the back of the engine ??

Hi Everybody !
Just a little View attachment 121973

This engine looks like the previous Model "T" engine and transmission. Production of the T ended in 1927. From seeing other photos, there is a coil box, and that was not on a Model A, as a distributor design was introduced, where the high voltage was from a single coil, verses the Model T which had a dedicated vibrating coil for each spark plug. The transmission in this diagram appears to be the planetary design, and not the 3 speed with a single clutch.

 

[the engineer]

sorry for the delay in reply yes those rods are bearing bronze
that block in the photo is a little flat four it drives me nuts its so small i only work on it when im feeling well and up to the paitence level reqired the crank for that is with the block i were playing with the cam grinder to see what results i could get to suit that tiny block had to get narrower wheels and since being back at work not too much more has been done
wasnt happy with the pistons in the ford so have made new ones much better fit and new glasses for better sight helps with these small machining jobs
