A Engine in a Movie
We are watching Operation Mincemeat on Netflix and in a fairly late scene, what looks like a Model A block appears. It is upside down on a desk (no studs) with the crank in place and you can see the right side cylinder shapes and timing gear. It looks like it might be a little small; are there similar design English blocks that it might actually be?
I'll try to photograph the TV screen today and post. |

Re: A Engine in a Movie
The English version of the Model A engine was "small bore." I think total net power limited to 14HP by the small size. But that engine was the standard block simply bored smaller (or sleeved) to meet the English tax/horsepower requirements.
One page/example of this variant from Vince Falter's most excellent site. https://www.fordgarage.com/pages/193...4and14.9ib.htm Those on Brit soil can perhaps add to this thought. I have been "fooled" by a pile of Model T blocks. But flipping one over revealed the true identity. Joe K

Re: A Engine in a Movie
I'm not familiar with T engines, but I see they are the same layout.

Re: A Engine in a Movie
With the script on the side of the crankcase and lack of an oil fill- breather, that is a Model T engine.
