Re: 5 main, chev, crankModel A engine
Here you go. the two main webs that were added, the lines hook to the bottom. I put fittings in there before they were installed. The other three go through a hole in the web, the inserts will go over top of them.

My plan is to take it to the hill climb in May. But I have a good hot engine waiting just in case this one does not do well. |

Re: 5 main, chev, crankModel A engine
George, is this going in the red one or the blue roadster? Been following this and would sure like to see a video also when completed. Amazing work and detail. Good luck with it and Happy New Year.

Re: 5 main, chev, crankModel A engine
Thanks for the kind words. Just had the right Dad and jobs in my life that pointed me in this direction.

Re: 5 main, chev, crankModel A engine
Up date.
Back working on my engine. pistons are in, oil pump ready to go, cam timing done, dist just about ready, working on front damper for crankshaft. The little things take a long time to do on some thing like this. No pictures because you can not see what was done. The oil pan and head will be soon. |

Since your crank is sbc (?) , would not a balancer common to that crank/engine work ? If not, could you explain details of why and what has to be changed/why ? |

Re: 5 main, chev, crankModel A engine
Should be more pictures today. Hard times I end up using a balancer from a 4 cylinder 151 chev. Mostly because I had one.

All this makes the phrase that comes to mind: "Ford Tough - with Chevy Stuff"

Re: 5 main, chev, crankModel A engine
Here are some pictures of trial fit of head. Every thing looks ok except will need a little longer push rods. Lets paint it.
