Henry Ford's first engine

[Grif]

Just completed in early march this year. From plans purchased from Leon Ridenour of Knoxville Tenn. Runs just fine. Made from pipe fittings for the head,intake and exhaust. Hardest time was finding the flywheel. It came from old wheel barrow and is cast iron.

Nice job Grif!!!! Any i.c. engine that runs is a good one, and yours looks like you have "dressed it" very nicely.----Brian
