: : NEED LOCATION OF MOTOR MOUNTS IN THE MODEL A FOR A '59 A FLATHEAD, ALSO NEED A '32 CROSS MEMBER TO BEEF THE A'S BONES !!HELP !!!
Are you surre you want to do this?I have driven several Model As with flaathead V-8 engines and they sure dident impress me...lots of work..overheating ..cracking of seats.. cracking of frames etc.. I even drove one with a V-8 60 in it...not only was it underpowered but dident handle well...I would sure look into a quad four..or one of the new slick V-6 units...flatheads are great in town ...just don't plan any trip that you really expect to get there....anyhow Chassis engineering had the conversion kits...mounts and bellhousing adaptors (crossmounts)..They did sound cool and look mean...kinda campy...also you might check with Speedway...years ago they also had em..Joel
