1924 Ford Model T Coupe 2nd Engine Start after Rebuild
Blew a rod bearing after the Woodward Cruise. Pulled the engine and transmission and totally rebuilt the engine and transmission. Installed it and started it and there was a major engine oil leak. Forgot to insert a bolt in one spot where the Magneto had been removed. Had to remove the transmission cover, insert a new bolt with sealer and reinstall the transmission cover. No easy task. This is the 2nd engine start on December 31, 2008 after it was all back together. This time it was successful!
Ford Model t speedster race car {ReBUILDING HISTORY the series}
From stock the modifications to this car start with the engine, where it has been fitted with a Ricardo aftermarket head, Bosch front plate distributor, counter balanced crank, aluminum pistons, and fitted with a period correct updraft carb, all together it pumps out around a whopping 30-40 hp.
The modifications to the frame include
-Lowering the car about 5 inches without dropping the front axle.
-Setting the engine and driver, back around 6 inches. This is done to change the look of the car as well as help with weight distribution.
-Also notice the period correct friction shocks on all four corners
As for the gearing ,the rear axle has been swapped out for an original Hall-Scott two speed axle that has been stuffed with 3 to 1 gears .
-Other than that I'm still running the original two speed transmission.
Setup as a race car it is not uncommon for model T's to hit speeds upwards of 65.
