Prepping A Model A Block For MACHINING!- Hopping Up A Model A Banger Part 1

It's finally time to start the process of rebuilding the original engine out of the Yard Art Model A!! Just a quick rundown of what i want to accomplish with this engine build and a quick wire wheel of the block so its cleaned up and ready to go for the machine shop. I also ordered up a few parts to upgrade the valve train. Hopefully in a week or two the block will be back to the shop bored and new valves installed, maybe mess with a little porting after that!

The amount of dedication and work you've put into this "yard-art" masterpiece is commendable. It's going to be epic!

That block is a decent project in and of itself.

HI, just found your channel.Great stuff.It's so satisfying to clean blocks and parts.YOUR machinist WILL appreciate it, i am absolutely sure.I used to wrench and machine and can tell you a lot of people think >what the hell I'm paying the guy the same price dirty or clean, let HIM clean it.They also expect it to be spotless when they receive it.I'M looking forward to the series, and glad to subscribe, thanks

Enjoyed the video, that’s going to be an interesting build on that old 4 banger, looking forward to the next video’s on that! I have a 4 cyl in my ‘49 Ford 8N tractor and was looking into some ways of hopping it up a bit. Be interesting to see how yours comes along at the machine shop.

Well I'm bummin, I was hoping we would go to the shop with you and check out the machine work, hopefully that's the next video, cool stuff going on with the motor and I'd love to see it through

Yes those old Model A's were not known for horse power (40 HP)and boring that engine out and pressurizing it should bring it up to almost double the horsepower it had before. It is a really great project my '52 power wagon M37 had a flat head L engine 6 cylinder. It has a whopping 78 hp. lol But its moving a super heavy truck. Thanks for the video.

Doing great keeping things moving ben! Gonna keep commenting and liking, make sure you get the recognition you deserve for your work! 👏 also glad to see the lumina making an appearance

Thanks for the video I am enjoying these so much. It would also be kind of good to know, like for the average guy like me. What kind of money are you talking with all these different steps you're doing having somebody clean up the block, buying a new crank, large valves. Dang I have enough troubles just trying to time the stupid engine.. Again thank you very much love it
