You missed my point - there were no 5 bearing engines made by Ford. The Burtz is therefore distinguishable from an original and should be scored accordingly.

No sir I didn't miss your point, of course I know the Model A did not have a five bearing set-up
How can you tell it is a five bearing engine, and not a three bearing, without dropping the oil pan, and that ain't gonna happen............So I stand by my opinion that 'yes' the Burtz block needs to be given full points in judging.
