Re: new block cast in OHIO
That is cool, now there will be two suppliers of new blocks! If he beefs the block up to 'B' specs but keeps the outside looking 'A' we will be in heaven as far a new engine goes.

Re: new block cast in OHIO
Wow exciting stuff. Maybe the guy doing the 5 main block needs to talk to this guy since he has had so much trouble with the pourings from Lodi.

Model T head.
Model A block. His post was a bit confusing because he jumped form one to the other.

Terry Burtz has some really pretty patterns, too. (I have seen them.) This is a complex casting to pour, get the metal to flow where you want it, and get all the air and other gasses that come out of the metal and molds to escape (not leave big voids). I wish them both luck because I want one!!!

Re: new block cast in OHIO
Interesting to note that this is the same gentleman who makes the high compression Model A heads for Snyder's. If his Model A blocks are as good as his heads, we will be in tall cotton! Very exciting times.

Re: new block cast in OHIO
Keep it with three mains, maybe Model B size mains at least an option.

Re: new block cast in OHIO
Model B size mains would be good. Model B size rods would be even better.

Re: new block cast in OHIO
From reading over on the HAMB, it looks like a finished block ready to be put together will be around 2500-3k.

Re: new block cast in OHIO
The Terry Burtz engine is the 5 main, counter balanced, full oil pessure engine. Cast in Green Sand so it looks identical to what Henry made.
