This is a disassembled Ron Kelley short block. I believe it’s a 4 inch bore, with original rods that have been machined for inserts. It is a used motor… that being said it should clean up and make a very nice inserted motor for a reasonably cheap cost. The cylinders have surface rust on them...

Has anyone else experienced this happening? I'm restoring my deluxe phaeton, and i just installed the motor and ****** in the frame over the weekend. When i went to connect the wishbone to the bell housing, it was about 3/4 of an inch to an inch to long to go in the hole... I am 98% sure this is...

I got a T-5 transmission yesturday while buying some other parts, and I've decided I'm going to put it in my speedster. I like the 4 speed and mitchel set ups better, but in a speedster this transmission set up will be just fine. I tried calling "auto restorations" to talk to them about their...

I'm restoring a '31 tudor deluxe phaeton, and i am in need of some (all) door hinges. Do any other hinges from any other body style cross over to the deluxe phaeton? Or is there anyone that makes reproduction hinges? Or even better, does anybody know where i could buy an original set?

I recently bought a stromberg 81 that was "rebuilt". And I ran it on my model a speedster for a little bit until some trash got in the carb. I went to break it down to clean it, and the brass plug at the bottom between the two jet brass plugs, will not break loose. I have pretty much almost...

Has anyone had any luck being able to pull a rear main cap with a counter weighted crank, in the car? I've heard it's possible, and I've heard it can't be done. I'm resealing a rear cap on an inserted motor, and if I don't have to pull the motor, that would be fantastic.

About a month and a half ago, Tod sent me one of his new Iron 6:1 winfield's to test. And there is only one word for it, AMAZING. I replaced my snyders 5.5:1 head with his winfield 6:1 and it was a world of difference. I have driven the car roughly 2800 miles since i installed it, and it has...

I have a weber carb kit for sale, that includes the carb, manifold, linkage, and finned air filter cover. This carb is bigger than most of the weber kits out there. It would probably be best to run on a speedster or model a without hood sides. I had this carb on my '31 coupe for 6 years, and it...

Last Saturday we lost one of the greatest model a men of all time, Ron Davis. He was THE local model a guru here in the DFW. I know, for me, model a'ing will never be the same with him gone. I spent countless days at his house while i grew up just listening to him. It didnt matter what question...

As some of you may know, back in mid January i started building a boat tail speedster. Long story short, its pretty much done as of this past friday when i picked it up from the upholstery shop. Here is the basic run down of how i made it: -Stock 28/29 front cowl section and gas tank that has...

Hey guys, i usually only post on the A forum, but I figured id ask this question here. Ive recently put together my A motor again, and i put a real hot cam in it. I put my stromberg 48 on it, and ive been having problems getting it jetted up enough. The mains right now are .051, and its still...

Last weekend I bought what i assume to be an original super Winfield aluminum high compression head. I've tried doing some research to find out what compression it is. I've read 7:1 and 8:1. My head is casting #104 and there is another number next to the casting # that reads 8.25. I'm not sure...

Well yesterday morning i tore apart my motor that has been giving me so much trouble from Taylor Made Motors in New Braunfels Texas. What i found was what i thought it was, piston slap. I took some photos, and i will share the link to the photo bucket album that i made for this motor. I for some...
