Do you need 80 PSI of oil pressure at speed for longevity? That seems like a possible hydrostatic power loss in an engine you want every last possible fraction of a horsepower out of.
god i love the sound of that 4 banger........it sounds like its a V8 wana be...........and thats a complement from me..........cuz it dam near has that V8 rumble id say
It very likely could be. I'm not sure if model A type engines were in your type of Tractor? This motor is a 4cyl flathead 220 ci running on gas, made only 40 hp in stock configuration.
READ the title! Bonneville. Don't you understand class racing at the Bonneville Salt Flats? Racing is done against a top speed record. And by the way...a flathead 4 banger is 220 CI and makes a lot more than just 100 hp. But seriously, If I have to explain this....you probably don't get IT anyway.
Well, we all know your oil pump works now!
Nice engine!

Interesting engine!
Does it have a 1-2-4-3 firing order?
Many Ford 4 engines used this rather than the more common 1-3-4-2 firing order.
A four cylinder with 3 carbs. Unusual.
What is the speed record in your class?

@OzzInter The model A, B and C have a firing order of 1-2-4-3. This engine is 220ci, that's why it has 3 stromberg carbs.

@8nguy
The 9N , 2N & 8N tractors used a 119.7 c.i. engine with a 1-2-4-3 firing order.
It was apparently one side of a V8 engine.

Very nice. Always hated fours until I heard the 'bangers...

Me too, Ford's flattie fours changed my perspective on fours...

The pure ingenuity that it takes to build something like that blows my mind. I wish I could be there in person to hear that crazy little engine run.

He's trying to say that it could be the fastest flathead 4 banger. "Although it isn't THAT fast." Good sound though, like half a V8, hehe.
