I found this while gathering parts for the Cabriolet I bought, can anyone tell me what it is?

didn't they make air compressors?

That's the head that converts a Model A engine into an air compressor. 2 cylinder engine, 2 cylinders pump air.

Interesting, I'll have to look into that.

cyl 1 & 4 provide the power, 2 & 3 are the compressor part

I have always wanted to do one. Here are some pics from a post to MARC Facebook page (not mine)

Wow, that's as cool as it gets! There's two extra engines I'm getting with my car and I think I might have to save one for a later compressor project!
