The "Poor Mans Rajo" is an old term used to describe a Chevrolet Head cobbled onto the Model T engine.

This kit is attached to a Model T block using an adapter plate manufactured by Neal Jern out in Redding California.  He calls it the "Jern Thunderbolt" kit, his name is cast into the aluminum rocker arm cover.

I am offering engines built up like this in limited quantity. 

If you would like to own one, please give me a call. 

The head in the photos is a 1928 Chevy, chosen for it's 1.5:1 rocker arm ratio.  This ratio gives the stock T cam .375" lift at the valve.  A new 280 cam will net you .420" lift.  With the right combination of parts you can get up into the 100 HP range to push your T down the road.  The "6" written on the side of the adapter plate refers to the compression ratio.
