Default Re: Simca Vedette flathead

Here are specifications for the American models. You'll probably have to do some digging on your own to determine if the later Simca models are the same as the '37-39 or '40 Fords, or different yet again.


Code:
Specifications

Year	Displacement    Bore & Stroke    Notes
------------------------------------------------
1937    136             2.60" x 3.20"    1,3
1938	136             2.60" x 3.20"    2,3
1939	136             2.60" x 3.20"    2,3,4
1940	136             2.60" x 3.20"    2,4


Additional Specifications:

Compression Pressure @ Cranking Speed    150 lbs @ 2800 (Same for all years)
Compression Ratio                        6.6 to 1 (Same for all years)
Pistons (Alloy Steel)                    3 Ring (Same for all years)
Connecting Rod Bearings                  Full Floating with internal and external bearing surfaces (Same for all years)
Crankshaft Crankpin Journals             1.599"   1.599"    1.599"    1.699"
Crankshaft Main Bearing Journals         1.999"   1.999"    1.999"    2.099"
Crankshaft Overall Length                20.82"   20.82"    20.82"    22.88"
Crankshaft Weight                        45 lbs   45 lbs    45 lbs    46 lbs
Oil Capacity                             4 Quarts  (Same for all years)
Firing Order                             1-5-4-8-6-3-7-2 (Same for all years)
Notes:
1) Had the tin-sided block
2) Had the all-cast iron block
3) Built with aluminum heads
4) Built with cast iron heads

Crankshafts were lengthened (just over 2" on the front snout) in 1940 for the direct mounting of the cooling fan. Also for 1940 the crankshafts went to a larger diameter for the connecting rod and main bearing journals. The 1940 connecting rod bearings were not flanged like the '37-39. All crankshaft bearings for the 1940 engines are unique to that year.
