MercadoLibre: Vendo o Permuto Proyecto Ford A 1929 Hot Rod ( Digno de ver) - $ 2 engine sounds pretty good, sounds like it may have aftermarket cam.

Gary, how much is that in Confederate money?

Sounds nice! Nice project, BUT as I recall the Argentine dollar is tied to the American dollar so at $29,000 plus shipping it might be a little expensive for a project. Chuck in NH

I looked at one wed site and the rate is about 25% of that amount. that would be about 2 falcon gassers with shipping to you Glen.

1 Argentine Peso = .25393 USD today. So it's $7363.97 if purchased today and that's for the whole project.

So I guess the exchange rate changed since the 90's? Chuck in NH

Hmmm... it still sounds like the real Y, so the secret of the Y-sound is not in the runner shapes.
Maybe the combustion chamber is similar?

1 usd = .56909 brl today. That works out to $119.18. Shipping might be high, though. Shipping to Brazil is not cheep. I don't know about shipping from Brazil.

The other thing is a camshaft, with the valve arangement, the regular y-block cam won't work with the fase 2 heads

They are expensive because it has title(very important like a house title) and no much A models are remaining with all the papers. Machine work for the engine also become expensive. The cam is an aftermarket one but the owner does´nt explain a bit of nothing about that cam. Anyone want a Phase 2? if y you can cost the shipment please let me know

Highvoltage, You seem to know the fase 2 engine, are the blocks the same as the fase 1 engines? I just wondered if the cam lifters are the same. Thanks for the information on the fase 2.

The block are the same. Lifters are the same solid lifters. the cam only changes the valve position as an SBF. Firing order is the same. Teh only difference are the cylinder head bolts which are a little big in diameter. I don´t know the exact size. Let me see, I have some at my shop.
