The Burtz Model A Engine Block Kit is a modern interpretation of the legendary Ford Model A engine, engineered by Terry Burtz to deliver the reliability, serviceability and performance expected from a contemporary engine while maintaining compatibility with original Model A components.
Manufactured from high-strength grey cast iron and precision machined throughout, the Burtz block incorporates numerous engineering improvements over the original Ford design, including a five-main-bearing crankshaft, full-pressure lubrication and modern bearing technology. It provides an exceptionally strong foundation for touring, restoration and performance Model A builds.
This kit supplies the core rotating assembly required to begin a Burtz engine build.
1 × Burtz Model A Engine Block
1 × Burtz Crankshaft
1 × Set of Burtz Connecting Rods
Unlike the original Ford Model A engine, the Burtz design has been re-engineered using modern manufacturing methods and materials while retaining compatibility with many original Model A external components.
Engineering features of the Burtz platform include:
High-strength grey cast iron cylinder block
Five-main-bearing crankshaft design
Full-pressure lubrication system
Modern insert bearings
Larger intake ports for improved breathing
Modern rear main lip seal arrangement
