1928 Chevy Head Adapter?
Posted: Sun Jan 11, 2026 11:41 pm
I recently dumped the pan for the first time on my T only to learn that the 'stock' engine I was promised actually has an A crank/ billet mains/ A rods/ and a big cam (you can imagine my surprise!)
Anyway, I think that the logical next thing to to is look into an OHV conversion. I'm too poor for a Rajo so the 1928 Chevy head seems like the logical choice. That said, is anyone still making them?
I know Neil made them years ago and then someone in Texas took over after he passed and modified the design a bit. Is anyone making them now? Or, does anyone know if it is possible to get the CAD file? I have access to a CNC at work if I had the file to work with. If others were interested it may be worth it to do a short run of them this summer.
