By Hap Tucker on Friday, May 12, 2006 - 07:00 am:Willie,
From the on line encyclopedia I believe the 1911 would not have "Ford script" on the head ref: http://www.mtfca.com/encyclo/E.htm#eng3
04-16-12 T401C Added "Made in U.S.A."

By Royce Peterson on Friday, May 12, 2006 - 07:11 am:Ford script started being used in 1909. Hap missed this:
1909
Ser. # 310 to 14,161 (calendar year 1909).
2501 to 8,100 model year
(May 1, 1909 to July 31, 1909.)
Note: Ford’s published data shows 1 to 11,100 built between Oct. 1, 1908 and Sept. 30, 1909.
S/N on boss behind cam gear housing on right side of engine. No babbitt in upper main or camshaft bearings. Thermo-syphon cooling. Piston pin now turned in the piston and was clamped in the rod. Oil dippers on connecting rod caps were discontinued.
The cylinder head now has the "Ford" in script cast between the center cylinders. This style head continued until mid-1912 with minor variations due to the casting molds.

By Gary London on Friday, May 12, 2006 - 07:19 am:I have one for my 1911; it has the Ford Script. Boses, etc vary; the real key is that it does not have "Made In USA"; that started mid model year for 1912.
By Hap Tucker on Friday, May 12, 2006 - 09:34 pm:Royce,
Good catch -- they added "Made in USA" around 4-16-12 or later and the "Ford" script was already on the head. Thanks for sharing.
