In talking with the Model A hot rodders the biggest problem with it is it deosn't breath well. Bigger intake valves do more to increase hp than anything. You could probably go to 5.9:1 without any problems if you call that high compression. Lowell?Doug DeverIn beautiful Stow Ohio> Subject: Pietenpol-List: Ford Engine Modifications

An A or B can have inserts and a 6.5 compression ratio, I installed fuel injectionon my A in 1992, ran it 2 years , and completely dissembled it to check it'sBabbitt, There was no problems, When using a 76 X 42 Prop the RPM increasedto 2500 at full throttle , Even at that speed there was no damage to the engine,The B I now run is highly modified with close to 80 HP, swinging a 76 X 47prop. With many mods it was worked on in 1988, torn down for inspection twice. reassembled and is still working well.Carburetor in important, The best HP that I found , was a progressive two barrel.Pieti LowellRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Ron Kelly's tests got me trying his stuff and it worked for me, also the rod tricks,camhead all ad to big dependable HP. Douwe, tried some of his ideas also.The ultimate would be the the " Donivan " D , Looks like a Ford but don't kid yourself,who wants to fly with a look a like that will scare you . Plus it willrun in excess of $25, 000,00. Al cast block for racing 500 plus at 8,000, detunedwill still run 150 at aircraft RPMs.Pieti LowellRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

I just received a flyer from Wag aero. On page 21 there are turnbuckle barrels listed at $2.00 each. That is a great price for anybone who is at that stage of construction. For the other parts of the turnbuckle assy I have seen them at Sun n Fun at B& B and other parts places cheaper.Grab while they are there.Dick N.________________________________________________________________________________Date: Mon, 31 Jan 2011 18:21:50 -0700Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Ernest Kestler paint job??
