I write with translator.
what would you recommend for a 4 banger tuning I can drive on the highway about 70 Milen (without great risk for the engine)
please exact description of the parts
thank you from Bavaria
Robert
 
you have a stock car and engine? if so 70 miles per hour is unsafe, if you insist on doing that you will need a high speed rear axle ratio 3:54? i think thats right and a mitchel over drive, xlnt balanced tires,and suspenion, and big balls
 
I totally agree that 70 mph is unsafe. Even if the engine allows it the rest of the car is 85 years old. You are putting your life and the lives of others at risk! Wayne

Hey Paul,
YOU go to the head of the class, eh...for comprehension :) !

BTW...'half right', eh !
Looks like BOTH sides of the guesses here were right, i.e.- 70miles at 70mph !
Robert, At 70mph a LOT of RPMs are going on in that engine. If stock (splash) oil system, be aware/careful to not 'overwhelm' that system.

Hey Robert,
How are you doing , my friend :) !
You are not asking too much of a four cylinder Ford A or B engine ('banger') to drive it 70 miles at a time. But, it should be in very good condition to do that job regularly. How fast are you thinking of driving your engine on the highway ? And, it is a FREEWAY type road or a back country road ?
PM or Email me and I may be able to help and work with you...and the 'translator' machine :D.

A lot more details need to be known, at least for me to help you. AND, maybe a lot of $$$$ to go fast, if that is what you want ;)
 
Not sure what the metric conversion comes out to but I think they do not use miles but kilometers
 
damn, now i dont really know if he meant 70 miles per hour or just 70 miles on a trip,any way 70 kilomters is 42 mph, to convert kilometers to mph, drop the last number and multiply by 6 so 70 k with the Zero dropped and the 7 muliplied by 6 equals 42
 
I think he wants to go 70 mph.

Here is why, he uses the term "banger" I don't think a translator would translate any thing to do with a car as a banger. A 4 banger usually refers to a modified for speed 4 cylinder engine.

Next he says "so i can drive on the highway".

He goes on the say "exact description of parts".

With my interpretation, I think he wants to get his engine to go at least 70 MPH.

roert, how much money do you want to spend?

this will get you started;

That's what I assumed - -

Interesting that the poster hasn't cleared this up.

So I'll ask again - -

Hey Robert!!

Do you want to go 70 miles per hour or take 70 mile trips at a speed a stock Model A will develop? (45-55mph or so)

I think all of us are trying to help this guy, to answer the other question above.
 
hi richard
I have found in Germany, a 1929 roadster
I have the super high speed ratio seen. the cast iron head. and the police head, and then the weaver or a Stromberg carburettors tires are 16 inches installed 7.00. I want fsahren on the highway a reisegeschwindikeit of about 70 Milen.
thank you

Good rule of thumb for a rough conversion but does not work for 45 or any number not ending in zero, a better way is to divide by eight and then multiply by five. (A kilometer is five eighths of a mile.) Use the calculator on your smart phone if mathematically challenged.
 
Roert,

I am looking at the same issue and have decided that the engine speed must be no more than 2,200rpm. that is 32mph/1000rpm. Our car is lighter than a Model A so there is enough power with a 6:1 compression ratio head.

The suspension and the brakes on our car are capable of that speed, you may need to look at your shock absorbers and brakes
