Default Hot Rod Engine

Here’s a nice photo of a 1926 Model T engine with a Miller overhead valve racing engine in the Brumos Museum, Jacksonville, FL. It’s one mile from Mayo Clinic so if you happen to be in the area it’s a great visit!

What kind of horsepower would something like that put out? I guess anything above the stock 20 HP would be noticeable. I like the water jacket.

thats a great picture John, thanks for posting. Might check that museum if heading over to Lakeland to visit family later this fall.

That early Stromberg is a nice add-on carb to have.

The museum also displays a 1926 Touring car built at the old Ford factory in Jacksonville, Florida!

The carb is a Miller - not a Stromberg.
