T.R.O.G.?

[Jon Haigwood]

One of the club ,members maybe starting up a T.R.O.G build off. I never build 4 cylinder engines but thought about it for this one. 

The AMT 27 Model T kit comes with a 4 Banger wit an overhead valve conversion. Is this period correct for T.R.O.G. or did it come about in later years ?

[Mark]

The Frontenac overhead valve conversion dates back to the early Twenties, if not earlier.  Developed and sold by the Chevrolet brothers (Louis Chevrolet was only associated with his namesake car company in its first couple of years of existence).

[Bernard Kron]

Overhead valve conversions for Ford and Chevy motors go back at least to the early 1920's  so no problem being T.R.O.G.-worthy.

Thanks for the replies . Looks like I will be building a 4 Banger

Thanks Again

you're good,

rules here Race Entry Wildwood — T.R.O.G (theraceofgentlemen.com)   It's down the page a bit.

Aftermarket OHV conversions are OK  on four cylinder engines

I went to TROG last year and was disappointed it didn’t happen this year.  There are the rules, but still you’ll see cars with glass and lights running.   

Here’s my photos, note that the first group of photos are cars that were just in the car show on the beach.
