My B is an early,home made counterweights on the crank (quality weldons),big ends of the rods turned down,sleeved .080 over..cam is a fuel pump lobe B,appears to be unground yet has only .270 total lift..engine had a Winfield red head but the PO took it off and sold it before I got the rest..check out the rod...



interesting huh?
