Would like to look in the classifieds, but site will not activate the account, oh well. Rumor in Wendover was you sold the car to a Kiwi. Is it leaving the states? J

Re: New A Engine from Burtz
Sad to say but the Burtz engine is dead in the water. The foundries high cost of pouring the metal have killed the project for now. I hope that Terry can find someone to make his, and my dream come true.

Re: New A Engine from Burtz
A Diminishing supply of engine blocks! Talk to a rebuilder! I was told By Ora Landis that he goes through about 4 blocks to get one that isn't cracked. Rebuilders are fixing and using blocks that they would have discarded years ago. Model A engine blocks are about 90 yrs old. Engine block castings are complicated things that are full of internal stresses. They've taken hot and cold (weather and starting and stoping) cycles. They all seem to be cracking at once, are they all getting timed out at once? Perhaps not on the same day or year, But one day, there will be a shortage.
