I figured some of you guys hat have already converted their engines you could point me in the right direction.

So.... Read up on model a engine sites for modifications relating to durability, not horsepower. Like inserted bearings, balancing, better pistons, porting, polishing, blue printing, valve face angles, etc. some of that does give more horsepower, but it's free. What you want to avoid are the modifications that reduce reliability. Boring for displacement is a bad idea generally. Then read bhp's original article from the flying and glider manual which contains the aviation stuff like better oiling, mounting mags, carb mounting, carb heat, prop mounting, etc. Back issues of the buckeye piet association newsletters have a lot of info. Lastly, search the archives here and ask specific questions! Asking how to build a motor won't get much response. However, as you research, and you find conflicting info or just don't understand a particular thing, those questions become easier to talk about.

Exactly what I was asking for. A direction to go looking for the necessary information. I have found lots of sites to look into. I just happened to buy this engine at a good price and never really looked into anything for the A. Great suggestions......

Be sure and pass along what ya find useful. I still want to build up a ford one day. Have a couple orphan sad bastard blocks laying around for when I do. Should have kept notes from when I was researching that a lot.
