What to do with old Model A blocks?
Maybe coffee tables?
The motor in my Town Sedan was in really bad shape, (water had gotten it it and the cam/lifters we’re stuck) so I bought another motor that was free in hopes of making one good one. The second came out of a truck, was well worn, and needed a complete rebuild including pistons etc.
In the meantime we found a third motor that had been rebuilt years ago but not run. The babbit looked good, the cylinder walls were great, the valve seats looked correct, and the price was less than a new set of pistons. It is now in my A and running great.
Someday Model A blocks of any shape will be hard to find but I now have two of them with cranks, heads, oil pans, etc. taking up room in the garage.
What is the best way to find a good home for them?
