Was there a 4 cylinder motor in 34

Robert,

The basic oil bath canister is the same, but the 'plumbing' and mounting bracket were the same. This is the second version of an oil bath air cleaner for the fours and was released very late in the '32 model year. The first one mounted on the firewall and required removal of part of the engine splash pan.

Jim,

Yes, the slanted exit of the '32 B exhaust manifold was a one-model-year thing. That shown carries a 46-prefix part number, but is interchangeable with the Model A version and became the service part for the As. It has slightly different contours where it curves downward compared to the Model A production version.

Here's a photo of a RHD four-cylinder '34 roadster that I bought in Argentina in the mid-90s.

Could those 4 cylinder cars even go 55,I would think they would had steeper gears then the ones with V8s.

The 33 Fordor we now own was driven by the former owner to high school in 1965, he said (and if he's lying then I am) that he regularly could get rubber even in second gear!!! After having our motor rebuilt we ran it in a friends Model A cutdown andI can tell you for sure A) if you were not careful it would break the tires loose and B) We got pulled over one time for doing 80. Granted the "A" cutdown was way lighter but that thing would natural born fly!!!!

I am absolutely s salivating at the Argentine 34 Roadster, the patina of that car is just fantastic. If that car were still around in that condition I feel confidant I would be either divorced or working 24hr's a day to own that beauty!!!!

Didn't the AMT Deuce Roadster have a Banger in it? Could save a lot of work.

There was one on display at Atlanta's Stone Mountain several years ago, a red roadster 4cyl.

I had the opportunity of buying this 1934 four cylinder Ford Sedan back in 1971. The price was right, but my mum said that I couldn't bring any more cars home. It was real tidy, and still had the old "Q" Plate on the rear.

The 33-34 B engines have a different front timing gear cover, crank pulley, water pump, and front motor mount from 32 B's. These parts make the front of the motor shorter to clear the rear sloping radiator. But that's not all!
33-34 B equipped cars (and pickups) have a shorter torque tube and drive shaft. (1 5/8 inches). The transmission mount outer ring is reversed so that the mount ears move foreword, allowing the transmission to move rearward 1 5/8".
The hole in the transmission cover will need to be altered also.
I'm sure there's more, but that should give pause for thought.

And a unique stamped steel toe board as well as '32 type choke and throttle knobs and threaded chrome-plated bezels on the dash as both controls were cables, not rods.

mercman , what a nice old 34 if mum said no you should have asked a grandmother or aunty

I finally found my photo of the '33-'34 four-cylinder toe boards (both LHD and RHD) and a RHD four cylinder transmission cover.
