SUPERCHARGED MODEL A STREET ENGINE
WE ARE CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS OF CONSTRUCTING OUR SUPERCHARGED MODEL A ENGINE.
THIS ENGINE UTILIZES A MODEL A BLOCK, MODIFIED FOR FULL PRESSURE OILING.
THE BLOCK IS SLEEVED WITH MODERN DUCTILE IRON SLEEVES & HAS HARD VALVE SEATS INSTALLED.
WE ARE USING A MODEL C FORD COUNTERWEIGHTED CRANKSHAFT MODIFIED TO FIT INTO THE A BLOCK. CROWER BILLIT STEEL RODS ARE USED WITH MODERN INSERT BEARINGS, 2 PAIR PER ROD.
ARIAS PISTONS CUSTOM MADE THE FORGED HIGH SILICONE ALUMUNUM PISTONS, WHICH HAVE BEEN TEFLON COATED ON THE SKIRTS & CERAMIC COATED ON THE TOP FOR HEAT DISSIPATION.
CRANE CAMS IS GRINDING A CAMSHAFT ESPECIALLY FOR THIS BLOWN ENGINE WHICH WILL OPERATE CUSTOM DESIGNED 1.700" STAINLESS STEEL INTAKE VALVES & 1.530" EXHAUST VALVES.
WE ARE CURRENTLY MANUFACTURING A CUSTOM FRONT GEAR DRIVE TO DRIVE THE CAMSHAFT & SUPERCHARGER.
THE SUPERCHARGER MANIFOLD IS ROUGHED IN, READY FOR FINAL MILLING.
STAY TUNED FOR FURTHER COMPONENT DEVELOPMENT AS WE PROCEED WITH THIS PROJECT.
