ENGINEERING STARTING POINT
Everything has a starting point. The starting point for this design study was a copy of an original Model A drawing (A-6015) of the cylinder block dated March 28, 1929. This drawing contained all dimensional information including tolerances needed to cast and machine a complete cylinder block. Additional information was obtained from copies of original Model A drawings for the connecting rod and crankshaft, inspection and measurement of several original cylinder blocks, and by measuring the intake port and water inlet baffle of a Model B cylinder block
