Those are cool, I've only seen a couple over the years. I have owned a couple Gordon Smith model A conversions, much more common. The last one I had was used on Mt. Rushmore.

Given it's history, the block is probably not cracked. Depending what it is, it might be worth taking a chance on.

It seems to be missing the valve mech for the compressor.

These look interesting. So they cast a different intake and heads? Do they still have the engine valves in the air cylinders and just leave the lifters out? Ok I went and searched. Looks to be mention of plugs in the ports. Just curious as to what they would sound like running. http://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=96462&highlight=schramm

just a motor for one of these, well it's looks like it to me. Price is right, too.

The engine Louisville is a good buy , I would like it for spares at that price. The first 1 you started thread about is now in Charlotte , I couldn't help myself ! It is a raised intake block possibly a1940 model Schramm, too bad the valves in the heads are missing as otherwise it is super complete.

Tony,

Congrats on the Schramm buy, they are definitely interesting. What are your plans for it, get it running or for parts?
