Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Funk engineAll,1. Thanks for the inputs -- I will follow up on them.2. The Ford N tractor engine looks very similar, but they are not the same (in fact the N tractor motor is part of the frame for the tractor and while its very strong, it is also very heavy.3. I spent about a year looking for a 32-34 4cylinder block. The hardest thing is finding one close enough to where you are so you can go look at it before you purchase it. One good source of information is Hemmings Motor News, under the 32-53 Parts. The Nov issue listed two engines for sale -- I don't have any information on them except what was in the adds: page 8595 "1933 Model C engine 4-cyl, rebuilt with transmission, may hear run. $1,200. Ph 508-943-8742, MA" and the other one was on page 8592, "C engine, (no price or condition listed), ph 970-686-2926 after 5 pm, CO." I know -- Ford never built a "C" engine, but lots of folks still call the 32-34 with the counter-weighted crankshaft by that name. If anyone wants me to keep you posted on the 32-34 4-cyl engine adds, just let me know. I read the Hemmings for other Ford parts. I don't need another engine -- but if the first one is really rebuilt and in good condition, that's a great price. The hard part is one person's definition of rebuilt may be just removing some shims, filing the bearing caps, and bolting it back together (I looked at such a "rebuilt" engine once). 4. Again, thanks to everyone who has already or will in the future send me some information on the Funk "Ford B" engine.Hap Tucker,Bossier City/Shreveport LANeed to get started________________________________________________________________________________Date: Mon, 15 Nov 1999 21:45:38 -0600
