MTFCA Forum

Last weekend I purchased several engines for cores. While this is most times a krap shoot, so far so good. I don't see any cracks or bad parts and even most of the drums are good. Whild dismantling these engines, I found a 27 motor that is in really good shape under the dirt and rust BUT, I find that there is no hole in the block for a throttle rod and the valve cover has no hole. I assume this came from the factory with a vaporizer and was not an adapted motor. Am I right? Anyone have more thoughts on a motor like this?

My '27 with matching engine and frame numbers is that way. I gave up on the vaporizer carburetor but did not want to punch out the membrane so I ran linkage over the top of the engine and now,run an NH. I have seen them both ways but assume that is because someone punched out the membrane to run the throttle rod through the block.

welcome to the new forum!

I have been wondering about you!

all the best

I will know tomorrow. Right now, I have 2 EE cranks and 1 heavy crank and 2 more 26/27 motors to dismantle. I have found some good parts and some unusual add ons that I will show you later.

sent e-mail yesterday
thanks,
john.

I got your email but don't have that here. I am not selling any parts right now so I can supply customers that need replacements for rebuilds. If I decide to part some of these out, I will keep you in mind.

Thanks, James.

I also, didn't get an EE crank out of the vaporizer motor and that crank looks like a candidate for the scrapper. Lots of damage even for a big cheek crank.
