Re: ford B engine
Ford started to contract out the A & B castings a few years after the end of production. The industrial and agricultural applications for these lasted a long time after the production of the cars & trucks that used them stopped.

Re: ford B engine
my b motor with a tightened up pump and a restriction in the front of the main galley made 80lbs! too much, had to open up the restriction a bit and put in a stock pump to settle for around 10 at idle and 40 goin down the road.

Re: ford B engine
Keep in mind that the hole behind the timing gear is there to keep the dipper tray full, not to oil the timing gear. If you want increased oil pressure to the mains but don't drill the crank for pressure to the rods you must make provisions to get adequate amounts of oil from the galley to the dipper tray. The usual method is a pressure relief valve that dumps oil from the galley to the valve chamber, usually at 20-25 psi. It's a different ball game with a drilled crankshaft and pressure to the rods.
