four banger
« on: November 21, 2007, 03:26:00 PM »
Newbie here:

I am in the process of putting together a flathead (blown) vintage Ford four banger. I have read the spec's and am conflicted as to the origin of the block. I want to order a Donovan alum. repop of the "B" engine. It has better breathing and a 5 main crank. Is this legal?


In advance, Thanks
John

I might be wrong, but I believe the block has to be pre'35 not a reproduction.  Hold on a little while and someone will know for sure and welcome to landracing.com,

John,

The rules are pretty clear.

"Flathead Vintage Four (V4F) consists if any pre-1935, originally designed and American made, flathead 4 cylinder automotive production engine, up to 220 cubic inch displacement."

No reproductions are allowed in the class.

Good luck,

Asking questions is one's only way of getting answers.

The rational person lets verified facts form or modify his opinion.  The ideologue ignores verified facts which don't fit his preconceived opinions.

Vintage class = pre '35 block

Your Donovan can run heads up cubic inches.
