Re: OHV conversion durability/longevity
I have B engine with babbit and an original CRAGAR. Also
have an A with inserts and a BF super head. The B produced 59 HP at the rear wheels and the A did 60HP. The car in my avatar has the OHV, T-5 transmission and F-100 steering. Both engines have headers, electronic ignitions and Weber 32/36 carbs. Neither car was cheap to build. Both cars are great performance wise, however the ‘29 with the stretch cab is a more comfortable touring car. Both engines were built years ago and I would be hard pressed to say one was better than the other.
