David,Yes, to answer the question, there is (or was last time I checked) a place in North Alabama that rebuilds Model A Ford engines. It isGood Old Days Garage2340 Fairley PlaceBirmingham, AL 35226205/822-4569 FAX:205/823-1944I had a block line bored by them in 1989 and thought they did great job. At that time the owner was getting old so it may or may not be with the same person now. It's been a while, but I believe the owner's name was Jim Marlar (sp). He was also kind enough to take the time to show me how to rebuild my Model A transmission -- which he could have rebuilt much faster by himself. You may be able to help him reassemble your engine -- and make the future maintenance easier.Suggest you ask them for the name and number of the local Model A Ford club there. You could ask the local members who they would recommend for rebuilding Model A engines now. For sure in 1989 it would have been Good Old Days Garage, but things may have changed since then.http://www.modelatrader.com/partsdirect ... ymenu.html has a list of Model A engine rebuilders you may want to take a look at. Also I think I remember seeing some good Model A engine info on Grant MacLaren's "The Buckeye Pietenpol Association" home page http://users.aol.com/bpanews/www.html Good luck and I hope Good Old Days Garage is still as good as they used to be.Hap TuckerBossier City, LA________________________________________________________________________________
