NEW Model A Engine- Coming Soon!
18 01 10 - 08:56Age doesn't always improve the breed. That's especially true when referring to 80 or 100 year old automotive designs. However, technology sure can!
Campbell, California's Terry Burtz is an avid fan of the venerable A-bone mill. Terry is combining today's computer design programs with modern casting processes & applying current technology to Henry's early workhorse. Burtz's CAD designers have analyzed the old blueprints & bit by bit, they have eliminated all of the flaws associated with the early design.
This new "banger" will include bigger bearings, high pressure oiling, better thermal transfer, improved breathing, uniform casting walls, etc. These are things that Ford's early designers could only dream of, because the foundry tolerances were so great & the process were crude by today's standards. As soon as the block is complete, his team will focus on the rotating assembly.
We will be following his adventure & hopefully, we'll be lucky enough to get one of these new HI-Tech engines. It'll be a screamer!
