This is a diamond block, which means it was made in the late 1930’s for use as an industrial engine. It has a counterbalanced crankshaft with inserted main bearing. The block is sleeved which makes for better cooling. The pistons are .030” oversize Egge Pistons, the same ones recommended for the Burtz Engine. The connecting rods are new, inserted rods from Antique Engine Rebuilding. The valves are stainless steel, with oversize intake valves for better breathing. The camshaft is reground by Jim Brierley, his touring grind. It provides good low-end torque and good high-end horsepower. The head is a 6 ½: 1 Burtz head as is the 30-pound flywheel. The pressure plate is a Ford V-8, which means less peddle pressure when shifting. The engine has been test run and is strong, quiet and smooth. The Model B engine is a vast improvement over the Model A engine. The oiling system on the A is a gravity fed system. While Model B has pressurized main bearings and cam bearings. The surface area of the bearings is 20% greater, while the cross section of the output shaft is 50% greater than the Model A. This means an almost indestructible engine. It durability is very close to that of the Burtz Engine. The Price does not include the water pump, fan, distributor, manifolds, carburetor or starter. These items can be supplied at additional cost. We can also supply an FSI automatic, solid-state distributor, which would be timed at our shop. No core required, sold outright. I can crate and ship for an extra charge.
