Model B engine block had provision for a fuel pump as the B tank was at the rear of the car. The crankshaft was also bigger mains and rod journals. The head had higher compression(if you can call it compression!) The engine was rated 50HP over the "A's" 40. Part of the gain was from a vacuum and mechanical advance distributor.

It also showed up in Korea on the wrong side.
The B 4 cylinder was a stopgap to keep Ford in the car business as the V-8's had a terrible problem with the sand castings and could not be made fast enough to keep the production lines going.
