i am trying to help someone out by ID'ing this motor. He says it's a Dodge, I told him there is no way its a dodge because the dizzy is in the head. It has an up draft stromberg on it. The exhaust manifold exits at the front of the block. It is in a late 20's chevy 4dr sedan. Some one suggested pontiac? any info would be great.
In the 1920s Oakland Motor Car engineers designed an all new engine for their "companion" make, the Pontiac, which was introduced in 1926. It was a side-valve design with a one piece cast iron block with three main bearings. An unusual feature was that it had two separate cylinder heads that each covered three cylinders. The Ignition distributor was mounted on top of the block in the gap between the heads. This engine displaced 186.7 cubic inches (3,059 cc) (3.25x3.75) and was rated at 40 bhp (29.4 kW) @ 2400 rpm when it was introduced. The compression ratio was 4.8-1.[1
I don't think it had 2 cylinder heads. It was a one piece casting. I am from courtenay, but the car is in Campbell River
