Subject: Pietenpol-List: NEW "FORD" Model D!A BRAND NEW A? After the A, B, and C, now there is an alternative, an aluminum block version of the old A four banger, brought up to date in many respects, but still difficult to tell from the old cast iron version. The new one makes 100 hp at 2800 rpm! And uses inserts for bearings, 4340 Crank, etc. But it's too pricey for me.Their Address is: Donovan Engineering 2305 Border Ave. Torrance, CA 90501 (213)775-1794 (310)320-3772 Dream On!

Carl,Just how "pricey" is this engine? It sure sounds interesting for those who wish to have the "Ford"type powerplant on their Pietenpol, and it would be a pity if it is unaffordable for most Pietenpol enthusiasts.Graham________________________________________________________________________________
