Model T Racing/Speedster Engine *SOLD*

Post by jakeknapp29 » Sat Mar 11, 2023 3:48 pm

I am selling my T racing engine that I was building for a speedster/hill climber. Unfortunately I will not be able to finish my project. This is a 26/27 block with all the work done. Insert main bearings and rod bearings. Model A counterbalanced crankshaft and Model A camshaft. Bored out with Buick pistons installed. Hard valve seats. 1.7" intakes, 1.6" Exhaust. Adjustable lifters. As you can see, intake ports were divided so that each cylinder has its own intake port. Intake ports have been molded and shaped with a special epoxy (common practice in drag racing engines). I have flanges that bolt to the block for building intake manifold and exhaust header. Rebuilt transmission with kevlar lined bands. Dan McEahern timing gear. Billet main caps. Aluminum head clearanced for the big valves and new solid copper head gasket. Hogs head and four dipper pan with external oiler kit. Pretty cool set up. I know its a lot but do some research and see what it costs to build just a regular T engine. Lots invested in this thing. Asking $5000 OBO. I need to get it out of the shop.

That cylinder head is a super hard piece to find. Don't believe those are available any longer.

Looks like I've got it sold. Have a person coming tomorrow to check it out/most likely buy it. I will bump back to the top if the deal falls through.
Thanks!

Lot of engine for splash oiling, or am I missing something? Otherwise looks awesome. Just my humble opinion

Mark, Do you know the name of the person or company that cast and machined this head?
