Great, I have a 34 B motor that has just came back from the rebuilders, but at the moment does not have a body yet!

I would love to have a "B" motor for my model a but after the last year of searching i have come up with nothing.

I have a diamond block (no cracks?) block, a recently ground, drilled & balanced crank, new inserted rods from Eubanks and trying to figure out what to do next. Have'nt worked out the thrust yet, interested in what others have done.

Terrific idea. I have a C model 34 ute.
Years ago there used to be a B model forum on one of the Yahoo Groups.
Always interested in Canadian A's, B's and C's.

You might call Bert's in Denver. I got one of mine there.

Don't get me wrong, I did read every post, but is not the reason for the disscussion group to move the specific dissussion there?

Count me in, there is a B in Dad's old 1931 Roadster with a Cyclone head. Are Overhead Valve heads part of this group as well? Bob

Yes, Ted did it for me. It might be a while before I get it up and running, but everything looks great, and as promised with no surprises. Great person to deal with, and kept me updated every step of the way! What a great setup he's got at his new place in Beamsville.

OK, I went there, clicked subscribe, bookmarked the page. Hopefully the group moderator (Vince) will grant admission to a "brother under the pelt." Hey, I like that admissions idea. We all new of a few jerks on the old F-barn, now there's a way to cull the herd?

Anyway, I've got three B engines, all are unfinished works in progress, like just about everything I have. One is a freshly machined .100 over block that I got years ago from Flanegan in Arizona. Remember his "Miracle" engines? It's a miracle that a posse with a rope didn't get to him before he disappeared. Fortunately, the machining dimensions on mine check out, and it is a 'miracle' that he didn't take a shave off the pan rail plane like he did on so many A blocks. I'm waiting to see Rich Falluca's (Antique Engine Rebuilding, Skokie IL) new forged B rods, due this summer.

Engine #2 is a very clean complete diamond block non-counterweighted runner with a knock (babbitt?/ haven't looked yet). I whacked it into the wall last week pushing it on a furniture dolly and busted the original front pulley. Maybe that was a good thing? Still pissed.

#3 is probably a boat-anchor. I don't know, the deck is badly pitted and the pistons are all stuck. For $100 I couldn't say no. Parts donor, maybe.

One will get a Yapp/Riley I have sitting in the box, The other will get one of the two Brumfield "Super" heads (blueprinted, polished 117cc) I had Larry make for me several years ago.

I have a small collection of B engine parts; rods, cranks, pans, dizzy's. Probably all junk, we'll see.

Re: 1932-34 Model B Four Cylinder Group started!
 

Thanks Vince! I subscribed but am not sure it went through to count me in. I have a B in my '29 Fordor, counter balanced, cross drilled for Dan Price's full oil pressure, pistons measuring .043 with four oil rings, an original Cyclone HC head, V-8 clutch, FS ignition, 3.54 gears and looking to improve some more (B intake with B carb).

My speedster project is a B, counter balanced, cross drilled for Dan Price's full oil pressure, one of Dan Price's last Thomas HC heads, headers, V-8 clutch, FS ignition, V-8 Trans (in the works) with 2 International truck hood body, '29 honey comb radiator, +. It has an Isky cam #590, .390 lift [email protected] duration and I know nothing about how it will perform. Can anyone clue me in on it?

Thanks! Tom Sieffert

d.j. moordigian 05-11-2010 03:07 PM

Re: 1932-34 Model B Four Cylinder Group started!
 

Tom...That's close to an ISKY 400 Jr. It's going to be lope, mid & top end cam, good in a LITE car, run large diameter lifters, B's or larger. Dudley

Tom Sieffert 05-12-2010 10:54 AM

Re: 1932-34 Model B Four Cylinder Group started!
 

@Dudley,

Thanks! I got it all buttoned up but it has adjustable Chrysler tappets, big 1.680 intake valves, 1.580 exhaust, new springs, bronze guides and steel retainers with intake ports opened up to 1.625 and aluminum cam gear. It will be going in a boattail speedster (no fenders, Model T runabout running boards, no doors, minimal windshield glass, two bucket seats, only top hood section) - should be light enough! I want it to 'shake' at idle!

Thanks! Tom

Wow, what fun! I run a B in my '31 and enjoy the extra HP. I am needing a new intake if anyone has an extra. Mine has been welded a few too many times by someone.

With all these postings here is a social group really necessary?

Joined up. Look forward to talking and reading up on the B with everyone.

IMHO, the social groups splinter and fragment the information flow about our cars.

I may not have a particular car that a Social Group has been established for, but I still want to know what is being said. When somebody takes a discussion into a splinter group, in order to follow what's being said I have to visit that forum. And for Model A topics, there are 10 or 12 or more different forums!!! :eek:

The same problem on a worse scale than the old FordBarn vs. Ahooga when somebody would post one place and not the other. But then it was just two places, now it's a dozen and growing!

If Ryan would give us some way of combining a collection of these forums into a single "virtual" forum, I would be pleased. (I have asked for that, BTW.)

s1b 05-25-2010 07:28 AM

Re: 1932-34 Model B Four Cylinder Group started!
 

Problem is, there is nowhere for the B motor cars to fit in on here.
You have early V8, but no B stuff.
Plus I'm sure there will be discusions about hopping up a B and restorers don't want to hear and see that.So a scocial group is a way to solve this problem.

You can decide for yourself whether it is a benefit or a liability, but you don't have the 'right' to decide for others by campaigning against it. It is no skin off your nose.

Are you against Postal Truck groups, Station Wagon groups, etc for the same reasons?



Mike,
Yes, for the reason above. If it is not necessary to you, then ignore it.

It is pretty easy to follow the "splinter" or "social" groups. Go to your profile page and click on the place where it says "Join social groups". You will be allowed to pick the groups you want to join, and then follow what is going on.

Scott,
Keep V-8ing and 4-banging!:D

Does the fact that Model A-related information is scattered across a dozen or more forums mean anything BUT fragmented?

To expand on your analogy: can the fish swim in more than one school at a time? Probably not.

....
As for "campaigning against" their use, I suspect that is my right. If nobody agrees, I lose. If others do, perhaps changes could and should be made. In fact I offered a solution that would suit me just fine and would affect no-one else. But getting it implemented is probably close to zero. :(

IMHO, the fragmenting of information is the one serious deficiency of the new FordBarn format compared to the old.

Cool:D My grandfather had a ride-on Toro in the 70s. I did not realize the company went back that far. Thanks for the pics. With all those B-powered items, don't see why you couldn't join. It's up to Vince though I guess.

I'm delighted to find this exclusively model B site but slightly confused about where to post this need (already did so somewhere else not too far away).

I do need both of the B-6042 special bolts that fasten the radius rod bracket to the flywheel housing. Any ideas?

Thanks for any thoughts.

I used countersunk allen head bolts until I found the correct ones. Where are you located? Please post or ad to your profile.
