Re: Happy with my Ford A
Could they just be bored out to make the 3.876 standard A bore from the stock 3" AF bore?

Re: Happy with my Ford A
For the sake of history and authenticity, I'd just leave it the way it was first manufactured.

This number was one of 10000 Omitted Engine Numbers that was sent to England for the overseas usage. Those numbers were between 2950001 and 2960000. These numbers were not used in the USA production. Part of the March 4, 1930 production numbers. Would be interesting to know if that number is on the frame. The 6 9 29 number I have no idea what it is. Also, would there happen to be an assembly plant code on the subframe of the BODY? Pluck |

Re: Happy with my Ford A
What an interesting Model A. Vivre la difference. Please check, as Steve says, for a body number on the metal crossmember of the body floor, below the front of the drivers seat. I think these European A's were made at Manchester,England, with American body panels welded there ; they were done LHD for export & probably had some French made parts/items [check the '29 style lamps with clear lenses] at assembly near Paris. Notice the inlet manifold has the boss for the stud where the RHD distributor rod pivot is mounted. This is a good indicator that the engine came from the Manchester Plant.
