Engine On CL
Looks like what could be a good deal on an engine on Craigs List . I have no connection with this , thought someone may be looking for one , I already have a rebuilt backup .

Re: Engine On CL
By the looks of the flywheel housing, what ever engine it was tied to previously, was throwing lube around.

If you know, how do these nonsprung disk hold up compared to the more modern disks with springs ? They sure look to be THINNER than disks with springs. |

Re: Engine On CL
As far as I know they are the same thickness. There was a person on the old Fordbarn who said he ran them in all 3 of his A's as he had a couple of the ones with springs that broke. He claimed no difference in performance. The A is light enough that I doubt you could tell the difference. Rod

I read where this type disk has some benefits over the sprung type, but I don't know first hand. First off, it was said that a guy would not have the 'loose spring' syndrome with springless model; then It was said that the flywheel to crank bolts heads would not cause problems , by being hit by this disk, when the flywheel facing was cut way down ? Maybe I'll try one on next change out ! If you are lightening your load of A stuff, and the rebuilt disks are part of that process, maybe you'd PM me, eh |

Re: Engine On CL
Yes, the farm will still be for sale so I will be loosing my place to store parts. I have moved some of my parts to my garage at home to get pic's and list them for sale. I have not dug those out. May be Febuary before I get real busy with this as it is very likely I will be layed up most of January recovering from surgery. Any good ideas on what to do with 10+ rear axle hsgs after I salvage all of the usable parts from inside them? Rod
