Has anyone seen a Model A engine in a Model T ? Will it fit? Does anyone have any photos of an A engine in a T frame?
Thanks

Why would you screw up a good T with a Model A Motor?

That's a good question Mike. There is no limit to our imaginations. I remember when putting Pinto engines in Model A's was a big thing. A friend decided to go the other way and put a Flathead V-8 in a Pinto. He never finished it having some driveline issues that lost his interest.
It's a great hobby with some strange choices.

That would be really neat, in a sick sort of way. Notice, there are not many pinto's around any more? They are getting rare. A flathead V8 in a Pinto could be a similar sacrilege today?

Then there is the braking question

I'm waiting for the Roadkill guys to put a Cummins diesel in a Pinto coupe... mid engine, 4X4, dual 8" stacks, etc...

One of my dreams is to put a V8 60 horse and trans, in a T, or maybe an A. An A would be easier, because an A's rear axle would probably handle the 60 horse unless abused, and the A's brakes, could easily be converted to hydraulic brakes.

It is not very hard to put a V 8-60 in a T. Ken Whitaker did it in a 26 coupe. Ran slick. It’s still on the road today in Indiana! I helped. Another one at the Even Cork auction was set up the same way and had AC.
