Re: Engine Rebuilder
I have no experience with repairs, but have met both Joe Bell and Kevin Prus.
Both are straight up knowledgeable folks and I would be confident in either.
Interesting fact...
I have THE Jensen...

Re: Old A owner with a T question...
The Model T transmission pan is part of the engine pan.
The flywheel is an integral part of the oiling system. Best not to muss with Henry's masterpiece there. :D

Re: 37 year old wanting to buy a Model T!
The windshield doesn't fold back on 22-27, 21 and prior only.
I will have to check, but I believe my door is 6.5' and my 24 fits topless.

Are you...
